Story telling at its best

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2007)

The Action grips throughout in this visually stunning tale with a kick a** soundtrack to die for. Almost 100% historically accurate ( I have read up on the THE history books ). This is stirring spellbinding story telling right off the Richter scale. Puts Gladiator in the shade. I have watched this several times over, much like many years ago watching Enter the Dragon for the first. I was completely spellbound by this movie. It could not have been made more perfectly if the Spartan king Leonidas had come back to life and gone to Hollywood himself to direct the film. Blue screen has evolved another generation with this visual leap and the music is on a par with anything the great classical composers wrote.
