300 - Exceeding Expectations

Besides accumulating a whopping 70 million dollars this weekend, the movie 300 was amazing. It had awesome fight scenes, drama, and was quite close to being historically accurate too. (Minus the weird-looking Imortals and the fact that Xerxes was 7 feet tall and looked like a female from the neck up). The plot is quite simple: the king of Sparta wants to go to war against Xerxes instead of surrendering to him. Sparta's laws and council members will not let him, so he decides to go to war unofficially with 300 of his greatest men. After some amazing fight scenes and thousands of dead bodies, the 300 have all been killed. Sparta learns of this, and a year later, their entire army meets at the same pass to defeat Xerxes. All in all, this was a great action movie. Tell us what you thought!

300 is getting more good press than it deserves. I just did a review of 300 over at Highbrid Nation if you care to read it. In the end it was just another movie that did not live up to the hype to me. Can we say "poor man's Gladiator"? Most people will likely disagree with me though, lol

I tend to disagree and Gladiator is actually one of my favorite movies. I loved 300. I think it gave a very different twist to this type of story. We were able to see Leonidas' life with his wife and son and how much he loved them. We saw a good contrast between his tender and ferocious sides. I thought this movie was very well done and I enjoyed it entirely.

I think the special effects in the 300 were revolutionary, they brought a whole new light to the amazing battle sequences. It is a must see in my opinion. It is very violent for those of you who don't like violence suck it up and go watch it, it's phenomenal
