A "bloody" good time!

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2007)

"300" has become the most anticipated film in a long while, and in my honest opinion, it delivers exceptionally.
The film contains some of the most Jaw-dropping special effects and battle sequences I have ever seen, and contains some of the most memorable dialog in film (Our arrows will blot out the sun/Then we shall fight in the shade). Gerard Butler delivers his best, most powerful performance to date, and the supporting lineup including Lena Headey, David Wenham and Michael Fassbener was top notch.
I loved the dialog (which has been receiving some criticism) and the plot which many thinks is thin. I don't know what people were expecting from the straightforward plot of "300" to which most everyone knows the outcome, but I found it to be tight and engaging from start to finish.
"300" isn't perfect- I think it should have been at least a half-hour longer, and the action could have been more varied (less spears to the chest, and more sword limb severing) but I can't really nit-pick on a motion picture this thrilling.
It may not be the next Spartacus, but "300" is a bloody good time. It's the most fun, and the most eye gluing experience I've had at the theater since "Sin City." Highly Recommended
