300 is the most bang for your buck

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2007)

I had high hopes going into "The 300," and they were not dashed. In a surprisingly accurate account of the Battle of Thermopylae, Zack Snyder manages to bring Frank Miller's graphic novel to life. It is a little over-the-top, but that's everything the graphic novel deserves. Nearly the entire movie is made up of realistic and epic effects powered by computer graphics. The battle sequences are the best in any movie since "The Matrix" and build on new, improved technology. An epic movie that lives up to its epic previews. I highly suggest this historical epic for anyone that is willing to put up with a little stylized blood and gore. In an age where movie tickets are outrageously priced, not many movies are worth it, but "The 300" is one of the few worth seeing.
