300 (2007)

The movie is made pretty well, with excellent graphics, but at the same time it fails to live up to the hype around it. It is really a dangerous peice of fantasy that strikes too difficult to believe. As we know, 300 is supposedly an account of the Battle of Thermopylae, fought on the north-east coast of Greece in 480BC between a Spartan-led force of Greeks and Persians.

It is like a culmination of west meets east movie-making and the fantasy feel of a video game. In a way , this film uses its comic book dimension to portray the vastly militarised Spartans as a democratic society.

It is visually very attrative and the actors have their best game on.
