300
Do not look for some brilliant plot here.
This is pure visual feast with some great camera work and editing. Frank Miller did not direct this one but the same unique visual style that separated Sin City from the rest of Hollywood releases can be witnessed a bit differently in 300.
The film has some powerful performances though Xerxes seemed a bit over the top to me.
The story has some reference to actual historic events but whether the interpretation is accurate or not is of no concern here.
What matters is the amount of detail that goes into every single frame of the movie.
Unlike War of the Worlds that was shot in record time and then filled in with CGI but still felt empty 300 is solid through and through.
Right from the opening scene you get the same feeling as Sin City, that you are not going to see anything routine and 300 does not disappoint.
You might feel squirmy if you are over sensitive to body parts flying around and blood spurting freely. Apart from that the movie is a blast from start to finish.
Just sit back and enjoy this wild ride.
