Movie Review : 300 [Rating : 5 / 5]
Well, first of all, let me say that this is probably my very first movie review, so, dont expect too much from it… I’ll just write what i feel about the movie and rate it my way… Hehehe… Well, since I’m generally quite a ‘chin chai’ person, i guess most of my movie reviews (if there’s any more in the future) will gonna be kinda positive… Hahaha… Ok, lets get it started!
Generally, this movie is about a battle where 300 Spartan warriors fighting till death to defend the attack from the HUGE Persian army. The Persians probably outnumber them 10000:1. Yeah… that many, or even more… I dunno… There’s even a part where the Persians boast something like, "our arrows will block the sun…" And… yeah, in a later scene, they shot their arrows and, woah… the whole sky is filled with arrows… Err, there’s also scenes about some politics in Sparta and there are some traitors that helped the Persians and stuffs like that, but… The whole thing about the movie is about the battle… =)
King Leonidas is the king of Sparta and he’s the leader of the 300 Spartan warriors. The leader of the Persians is the (self-claimed) God-King Xerxes. Well, the war actually started because Xerxes wanted to conquer the whole of Greece and the whole world, but King Leonidas refuse to bow to him. Well, got to add a note here, Xerxes is so GAY!!! OMG… i cant believe someone like his as a King… ><! Hahaha… Watch the movie and you’ll probably get what i mean. =) Also, the Spartan warriors… Wow… They really really look like warriors and so so cool. Well, they dont wear heavy armors like today’s army… They’re half naked, wears a red cloak, helmet during battle, a big circular shield and i think thats all… BUT… every single one of them is muscular and looks so tough! One of my friend who watched the movie before me, challenged me… He said, if i can find someone from the 300 warriors without six-pack (muscles at the abs, dunno spelling correct or not) or muscles, he’ll give me RM 10. Hahaha… yeah.. its like every single one of them have a minimum six-pack or eight-pack… Wah sai… so cool… =D
The battle scenes are very very cool too… The effects are just great and not overdone, in my opinion la… They slow-mo at the right timings to show you how they fight and so on… Camera angles are good too… Well, for one, this movie contains a lot of violence and gory scenes. Hands, legs, even heads got chopped off like nothing only… And there’s a lot of blood spilled everywhere… And of course… There’s the spirit in it… The words they use… their actions… Wow… See also super semangat! The Spartan’s motto is something like "never retreat, never surrender, not afraid of death" And they fight to defend their country… their people… their freedom… =D
Okla… I dunno what else to talk about also… ><! If i tell more, its gonna be like a summary of the movie ade… Hahaha… Okla… I know my review not that good also… Wished I could have done it better, but… nvm la… hahaha. I tried not to include spoilers as much as i can, but, because of that also, I dare not type too much about it… And also for the pictures, I tried to add some pictures that’s cool from the picture, but i limit myself to very few, because i dont want it to be too big in file size which will slow down the viewing of this page. ><! Well, in conclusion, this movie is a very very good movie and I do recommend those who haven watch it to watch it. MUST-WATCH! (okla, maybe exaggerated a bit) =D [Rating : 5 / 5]
