This is sparta- magnificent, brilliant and spectacular

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2009)

Well, after watching 300, what can I say? The blood isn't disgusting: it represented the glory of the Spartans with a brilliant script, an even more brilliant soundtrack that brings something new to the war and glory genre- this is something amazing by Zack Synder who directs to perfection- similar to what Peter Jackson did in Lord of the Rings. Death, war, rape, blood- 300 is the darkest film of 2006, but one of the best (United 93 and the Prestige takes the cake and medal) but this emerges as an unforgettable film with plenty of quotes that you will be saying, such as "this is sparta!" It is completely an original film- with a soundtrack that seems to work better than Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoniette. Don't listen to the critics that pan this film: this is a real, unforgettable, nearly perfect film that is a rocking adventure that earns the comparisons to epics such as Lord of the Rings with it showcasing glory and passion towards Sparta, and means a new era in film. And that a good era that 300 brings. Sure, it's battle after battle but none of these are done without human emotion and not a single scene is dull. It's simply brilliant. Spectacular. Truly magnificent
