awesome visceral battle

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2014)

This is an exciting visceral film and is definitely a guy film. The film refers to the ancient battle of 300 Spartans taking on the armies of at least 10,000 Persians and this film portrays just how epic this clash really was. All the performances are good and when the battle happens you feel emotionally attached to these characters as they go on their quest. The main attraction is watching the action between these tough Spartan against the outmatched Persian's and how gory, thematic and over the top all the killing is in this film. The secondary plot also is intriguing and provides a little break in the film from the huge amounts of action and violence in it. The ending to the film is incredible and really fits the tone of the film providing a great climax. I'm looking forward to seeing the sequel and hope it has similar levels of action, intrigue and violence as this great film.
