A GREAT movie displaying the artistic potential of film.

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2007)

If one is looking for a historical depiction of the Battle of Thermopylae, don't see this film because you will only find disappointment. However, if you are looking for a movie that is moving art, then 300 is the pinnacle of film. Done in a way that gives great credit to the imagination, 300 is a film that sees great acting on the part of everyone involved blended with awesome scenery and well executed battle sequences. The artistic aspect comes most notably in the depiction of the Persians, who come in all forms from beautiful to grotesque with all manner of piercings in the most unlikely of places. A fantastic film that should not be missed in theaters, 300 is a film that wraps up nicely, not dragging on a bit and leaves one feeling inspired. Very exciting, very well done, this one will go down as a classic in its first week.
