Review - 300

"300" is a historical action/drama based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller, who has also done such fine works as "Batman" and "Sin City". The movie recounts the tale of the Spartans, considered the fiercest warriors in the world, as they battled the invading Persian army...which numbered over a million men. Despite being impossibly outnumbered, and knowing that they would inevitably be destroyed, the Spartans not only fight...but fight with passion.
The movie has a very comic book feel to it...yet, it makes it almost that much more enjoyable. There are a few spots that drag on a bit...mainly when they take you away from the battle, which features some of the most impressive fight sequences I've seen in quite some time. And even though you know how the movie turns out...that doesn't stop you from loving every minute of it.
If you're a fan of action, historical movies, or movies based on comics...this is one you don't want to miss.
Starring Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, and Dominic West. Directed by Zack Snyder.
