Where the brave 300 fell....

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2013)

King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans stand against the God King Xerxes and his Persians in the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.
One of the most visually appealing and intriguing movies ever made. Zack Snyder delivers in this supremely energetic and over charged action film deep seated in historical lore but with a fantastical twist to it. Hyper violent and super charged action make this one of the finest action films I have seen. based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a tale of sacrifice, sorrow, courage and heroics. Gerad Butler give a performance of a lifetime and one in which i have no doubts will go down as his most iconic and recognizable roles of his career. Spawning a sequel that will come out in 2014, 300 is a fine historically soaked, action film that holds back nothing, and puts the viewer on the edge of their seat. The photography and gritty lighting of the film enhance the charm and feeling of nostalgia to the film, as does its adrenaline soaked action and dialogue, if you've not seen 300 then by all means make this a film on the top of your list.
