There are, in truth, no words.

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2007)

If I could give this movie anything higher than a ten I would. In absolute internet geek language "this movie is made of massive pwn". Yes, historical inaccuracies (it's based on a comic book, please keep that in mind), yes, some shots were just too off to take seriously, (**SPOILER** To be fair, I'm only talking about the spinning head scene), and yes, Frank Miller tends to use the same archetypes again and again for his characters but this does not, in any way detract from this being a thoroughly enjoyable film that satisfies any war movie fan's blood lust. I watched this movie knowing that Frank Miller tends to have his hits and misses, but after Sin City (a movie I watched about 14 times since it came out) I thought I couldn't worship him for anything else. I'm not going to exaggerate by saying that 300 is the BEST movie that I've ever seen, but it's definitely one of the best I've seen in a long time. After Ghost Rider I dreaded the next comic book movie adaptation, 300 basically replied to this with a "shut up and watch. This is how it's done".
To anyone worried about the movie not living up to the comic--- trust me. This does justice.
This is a movie that I'd probably watch on the big screen, again, thrice. So go forth, behold, worship, for freedom! FOR SPARTAAAAA!
(Pardon for any inanity, I'm on a geek rush from just watching it hours before)
