An Impressive, Moving and Memorable Epic

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2007)

After seeing the first trailer for 300 i was hooked. I really thought this film would bring forward a fresh idea with plenty of impressive visuals and action. And i was not disappointed.
From an advanced preview last night, 2 days before release. I went into the film expecting it to blow most other movies i had seen recently, out of the water. And it did. This i believe (along side spider man 3) will be one of the best movies of the year. Big, Loud, amazing action, great acting, new story.
Its a strange feeling that you know all the 300 are going to die, and you feel it as they are attacked again and again by numerous warriors, ranging from simple foot soldiers, to the 'immortals' who are the deadliest soldiers in the world (until they meet the spartans). Then elephants, sorcerers, rhinos, and a **** load of archers.
The ending is uplifting, heroic and emotional.
All in all. I loved this movie. Definitely re-watchable. Its a DVD purchase, its a memorable epic.
