Visual Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2010)

Saw this movie in the theaters which is simply the only way it should be seen. I'm a big movie fan and i've seen all kinds of movies and of course all kinds "huge budget for special effects" movies. But this is something new. You wont find a historical or mythological war related movie that can compare. The visual effects are simply mind blowing, to me this Zack Snyder is ahead of his time, visually speaking. It's new, fresh and based on real facts that you can look up. Leonidas and his men actually did exist, they weren't exactly 300, more likely 1000 and killed over 20000 Persians. See this movie for the visual effects, not for the scenario or historical facts. Gerard Butler is truly amazing, great charisma, truly embodies Leonidas and gives the movie and additional epic touch.
This movie is a must for all the movie fan who are disappointed by the big budget blockbusters they've seen these past 10 years.
