This movie was so good.. I don't know what to say really.. I loved it.

Most people know the story already of the 300 so its not a surprise that.... SPOILER COMING..

They all die but the story itself is incredible.. The special effects are spectacular, very top notch, and the acting was stellar. Gerald Butler was perfect for this role.

The good thing I found out was that it wasn't as gory and bloody as I thought it would be, people exageratted on that part. And there is a bit of nudity in the begininning that wasn't really needed ( Im sure the men will disagree rofl).

I will be going to see this again on the Imax screen next week.. I highly suggest seeing it on a normal screen first though or you will miss alot of stuff.. meaning the screen will be too big to see everything you need to.

I give this a huge thumbs up!!

Go see it!

Thanks for the Memories MXO!

Well, here was a movie that didn't fullfill nor dissappoint my expectations. However it was in an of itself an excellent film. When I forget its supposed to be about a real story it makes it much better. I went in expecting to see a more realistic version of what happened, but its understandable that it was so ridiculously over the top because it was a story being narrated by a guy, and of course embelishment comes up all over the place then. I just can't get behind, troll-like weirdos, goat headed minstrels, quasimodo's, and an 8 foot tall african man-god. I knew, however, after the very first time of seeing a group of spartans just standing around that it was going to be way over the top. The statuesque shape those guys were all in was absolutely nuts. Now for the switch...I loved this movie.

Seriously, my only gripe was that it was just way way way over the top...so over the top it went right into space. Aside from that, it had wonderful acting, stellar graphics, amazing fight scenes (especially when they just did the one on ones, like those two younger spartans who were mowing down guys, and when the main character was fighting the big trolly guy), the cinematography had a wide sweeping artsy style that made the action and everything else seem grandoise and awe inspiring, and a great story however embelished it might have been. I did find the nudity kind of pointless actually, but as I mentioned I did really like this film and I must admit just watching this movie made me feel about 10 times manlier than I've ever felt. I have to put this film right at the very top of manly men movies, I can't possibly stress enough how much of a testament to the will and strength of the warrior this movie emphasizes.

My favorite part was anytime during the movie that exemplified how crazily strong all the spartans were, such as when Leonitus kicks the persian messenger into that pit. When the camera panned out and slowed down and you get this wide view from the side just watching him you note that the only part of his body that moves is his leg everything else is completely solid like a friggin wall, which just smashes right into the messenger who is immediately sent rocketing backwards. Also as someone already mentioned when they were driving back the first wave of persians at the wall, not so much the driving back part just how they completely halted the advancing troops. The persians just straight up ran into a giant wall of man pretty much falling over themselves. Anyways....Great flick, not what I thought it was going to be, but awesome none the less.

Three "huzzahs!" for the manliest movie ever!

WHAT!?!?! no goat headed minstrels in real life?!!?!!?!?! my whole belief system is ruined
