300 - Best Action Movie in a Long Time!

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2007)

After seeing 300 on the big screen last weekend, I cannot get it out of my thoughts. The movie worked on multiple levels, from the surface level of combat to deeper, more symbolic ideas such as ideals vs politics, corruption, and the value of freedom.
The movie flips between past and present, politics and idealism, Sparta and Thermoplae.
You get all of the eye-candy that you could ever want, tons of action, and a lot to think about, all in one well-wrapped package. Is it worth the price of a ticket? Heck yeah! Don't let the nay sayers discourage you, they do not realize that this movie is a comic-book adaptation designed to use exaggerated, large-than-life imagery to make a point. I refer these whiners to Maximus ( from Gladiator ) "Are you not entertained?"
