This is Sparta

Rating: 7/10 (23 October 2015)

300 I know is one of the biggest and most loved movies of 2007 and with good reason.
I figure I had to review this movie sooner or later so I figure might as well get it out of my system.
However I do feel mix about this movie not that it is a bad movie fair from it. Here's why I feel different about 300.
But first the pros:
I appreciate the dialogue that was written almost every quote in 300 is a masterpiece of it right. That's rare in motion pictures so I really enjoy the writing for this movie.
The acting is superb Gerard Butler gave one of his best performances as King Leonidas, Lena Headey did a beautiful job as Queen Gorgo, Rodrigo Santoro gave a scary and powerful performance as Xerxes, David Wenham as Dilios serve a important figure in this film.
The score is excellent it is one of the best written music for a movie every piece of music in this film is epic and helps tells the story of the movie.
The Cons: The film just gets too graphic I understand the time period was that violet but it still can be too much. Also the film stalls at times which can hurt the movie and it did for me.
300 is not a bad movie far from it I just don't feel it to be a superb masterpiece as many consider it but never the less if you enjoy movies like this it's right for you.
I give 300 an 7 out of 10
