Absolutely Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2007)

This movie was one of the best action/history (although some of the history was distorted) i have seen in a while. Now see, I'm not one of those commenter who just see the movie and put a ten because it looked cool. No, this movie truly deserved it.
Now those who give it terrible grades probably go into to see a good historically accurate film. Don't go into it like that. You will be sorely disappointed.
Alright now that I got that off my chest, why this movie is amazing. The CGI effects are amazing. The monsters are very well done and although you can tell they aren't real they still are a work of art. Secondly the battle scenes were beautifully choreographed, and extremely well done. The actors were absolutely stunning when it came to the battle scenes. Are third great characteristic of this movie were the actors. OH the actors were the best of the pick. But I can't give them all the credit, the script to that movie was fantastic. There were some of the best quotes I have ever heard or read in that movie. After seeing it all I could think about was the inspiration from that movie and the amazing dialogue that took place in that movie. Not only was the battlefront plot good but the subplot that took place in Sparta was just the cherry on the perfect chocolate cake. It was about Queen Gorgo trying to get the support of Sparta's senate to send more troops to aid King Lionadis in the battle of Thermopylae. The actress who played the Queen was brilliant and the subplot was very good. Although the movie isn't 100% accurate it was still very loyal to the graphic novel.
Now all of this was what made the movie an almost amazing movie but what really put it up to the amazing mark was the ending. If you knew anything about the movie or it's history, you would know that the 300 were all slaughtered on the third day. You knew from the beginning that it was going to happen but when it did I still couldn't keep myself from feeling sad, and anger at the Persians. The movie from beginning to end engrosses you in the plot and battles. After the 300 were slaughtered I thought it should just end and roll the credits but boy am I glad they didn't. The movie was finished with Greek nation's armies of all kind gathered to crush the Persians and then the character yells some of the most wonderful, amazing, incredible, and outstanding dialogue I could imagine.
If you are ever at a movie theater then i definitely recommend going to see 300. The only thing I ask is go into it with an open mind. Don't go into it with a positive or negative attitude and it surly won't disappoint you!!
