Visually stunning

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2007)

Changed from an R18+ to MA two weeks before its release i can see why such a rating as R would have been considered, 300 is many things, a shameless and fun blood bath, an emotional commentary on war, a commentary on currant world events, a piece of history turned into mythology and the ultimate entertainment for bored males, film geeks and fan boys.
I won't lie to you, 300's premise is simple, but it is by a masterstroke that all elements come together to make cinematic magic. For starters no one else but Gerard Butler could play the role of Leonidas, secondly butler and the rest of the cast perform wonders, particularly Aussie actor David Wenham, thirdly the digital production design and cinematography have to be seen to be believed.
300's is neat little bundle of Adrenaline and testosterone weaved into a two hour package. The emotional last stand of the 300 is rousing and beautiful scene.
300 is a fantastic film destined to be a classic, and remembered with 'Sin City' as the cornerstone of digital film-making.
Verdict: Just shut up and go see it NOW!!
