Went and saw 300 today and I must say it is a good movie ! It is bloody, gory, R-rated and violent as hell ! It is definitely not for the faint hearted ! Why did I like it? Well - for the simple fact that it tells the story well and keeps you entertained throughout. It did however had a lot of scenes that made me uncomfortable even though I was only with my wife !

I loved the fighting sequences and the way it was shown - the camera angles, the colours, the action sequences and the blood splatter everywhere ! it was very well done - Kudos to Zack Snyder for his direction !

I think 300 takes a page out of Lord of the Rings (crazy battle scenes and loads of armies), God of War (The violent behaviour, the looks and the defiance of the Spartans) and a little from The Matrix (the colour scheme and sticking to tones of the same hue and the action sequences).

300 - in all is a good movie - However do not take your kids or parents with you to the movie ! Check out the video blog at their myspace site. This should give you a good idea of what I am talking about…
