300

Adventure-action films have been around a long time and they have been done in many different styles, but when a movie comes along in a genre that blows everything else away it must be pointed out so everyone is a where of the new standard. From the opening shots to the closing credits this film will blow you away and leave you wondering if you'll ever watch movies the same way again. This is a completely faithful adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel by the same name, and the artistry that was so apparent in the book is splashed across the screen in some of the best cinematography to come along in years.
In 480 B.C. 300 Spartan warriors stand up against the entire invading Persian army, hundreds of thousands of men, who are bent on conquering the Greek nations, and they show what it means too fight to the last man standing. The blending of live-action and CGI animation is utterly fantastic, between the environment that is created for the story and the battle sequences you are left breathless. The acting is very well done considering that the majority of it was done in front of a green screen, you can see the talent from each and every person on the set. Having the film with washed out colors it gives the feeling the tale that you are watching is an old story but one that has a lot to teach us about the world we have been given.
I missed my chance to see this film at the theater, but I did watch it on a big screen TV so I did get some of the feel of the spectacular epic this story is. In this incantation of the story 300 Spartans we are given so much action that you have to see it a few times to catch all of the things that you missed the first couple of times around. I haven't seen this much action in an adventure film in years and to me it is well worth multiple viewings. So rent it, borrow it, buy it, but for whichever way you have to do it, you have to see it, you wont be disappointed.
