Watch THIS

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2007)

I watched this epic movie in the theatres with a lady-friend of mine WITHOUT ANY expectations at all. She's An horror addict and I'm an action-addict. Did check up on it AKA trailers and whatnot, but couldn't decide what to mean about it. Both of us hadn't any expectations other than we thought it would be 2 hours of entertainment. But when the movie started I was literally hooked from the first scene until the last and so were she. It literally BLEW me away. I, up to this point, considered Gladiator and then Troy to be the best movies in this historic-genre until the day I layed my eyes on this flick. No, it's not historical accurate at all. All of these kinds of movies has some added dramatization (in some kind of way), whether you like it or not. It's Frank Miller's interpretation of the battle of the brave 300 Spartans. I haven't read/watched his cartoon, but that doesn't matter. Robert Rodriguez Did SOOOOOOOOO GOOD with his (Frank Miller) Sin City. What a cult flick if you ask me. 300 came out of the same kind of dust. Sure it isn't a movie for the person that looks for what's wrong in the storyline or what's accurate. Take it as it is. An epic action story that also deals with matters of the heart (Seen from the Spartans wiev). I personally couldn't wait 'till it got out on DVD. 2 months before this got released on DVD, I got hold of a documentary called "Spartans: The Last Stand Of The 300". Check it out if you wanna know THE true historic battle. The day of release? You betcha I was there to get hold of the 2-disc Special Edition. I don't EVEN care about any goofs and whatnot. This movie HAS gotta be the best of 2007. Both cinema- and ALSO DVD-wise. If you don't like a lot of action and blood, then don't get this one. To ALL of you OTHERS.... GET IT!!! And GET IT NOW...........
