Battle dance in blood

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2007)

The battle scenes are visually stunning. The adaptation of Frank Miller's book is faithful to what matters...the gory graphic violence.
If you are a person that loves to see limbs dislocate while their victim screams in agony. If you enjoy blood cascading like rain drops on a battlefield. The beauty of heads dislodging while they still have a expression on their face. This movie IS FOR YOU ! And my favorite part is blades traveling in slow motion to capture the graceful destruction of their victim. Man I just kept watching in anticipation of new characters just to see them die.
The only part that Frank Miller claims to be historical is the 300 Spartans that fought to the death against the Persians. So if you are going for Oscar winning performances, perfect subplots or a history lesson...this is the wrong movie for you.
The only have 2 complaints: 1 I wish there were less scenes filmed in near darkness or night, makes it difficult to watch on normal TVs and hard to appreciate the cinematography. 2 They should have spent more time with the battle scenes and less with goofy drama going on in the senate.
Worth owning used.
