I went along to see ‘300‘ recently. It’s a belter of a movie. A non-stop visual feast, with thoroughly enjoyable – and very violent – special affects. A wonderfully stylised feel to the movie, in very much the same way as Sin City. No coincidence, as both films are based on Frank Miller’s Graphic novels.
Sure, it’s not going to leave you debating the finer points of Spartan life, but there are plenty of times when just sitting back and enjoying a story for what it is is all you want to do. This is just such a movie, and left me with enjoyable flashbacks to my enthusiastically watching films as a child. After a busy few weeks, this film was the perfect way to start a short break.
Maybe when I get back, I’ll read-up on the real story!
