300

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2007)

300 never claims to be historically accurate Snyder and Miller have loosely based this movie about the legendary battle.
The movie has the visual effects of Sin City but instead of Sin City's black and white with some colour 300 has a very dark feel about it and is in colour though it is clearly computer generated.
The Choreography of the fight scenes is excellent and the Spartans fight with great technique and as Snyder said they have been changed so they are historically incorrect to look cool they most certainly do.
Each spartan is incredibly well built with no exceptions there is a ripped six pack every where in their army. 300 makes Troy look like a girl scrap and rivals gladiator for its excellent fight scenes, though it is portraying our heroes in a different way they almost push being a hero to the extreme unlike Maximus who is an excellent fighter but does not so much enjoy the killing he does whereas the Spartans love it.
I think that its safe to say the Spartans are nothing more than a group of Bad Ass Mother F****rs who can fight like no others and are ready to show it off at any given opportunity, it looks as if their having as much fun as us the audience.
The only thing i think 300 lacks in is the emotional power of gladiator, when we should feel sad in 300 its quite hard as we're still recovering from the scenes of mass violence, where as gladiator hits hard with emotional power, however i still feel 300 is a good movie and worth watching and am looking forward to what Snyder has in store next.
