this is Sparta!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2007)

i just returned from a late night screening on opening day of 300. it's by far one of the best historical Greek epic (whatever its called) movies ever. on par with Gladiator as this generations top epic. like gladiator violent, but stylized not hiding anything, and going extremely over the top (in a good way). the non fight scenes were stirring and breathtaking (especially the love scene between Queen and King, its really good and tasteful). the effects were top notch, film almost entirely on green screen, the use of color and light enhance this triumphant film as a herald to cinema today. i suggest you see it, many times if you must.
