yes. new template. but it was a ripoff. i admit, i didn't do this.

okay. im here to rave about the movie, 300

so please, shut the fuck up and open your ears.



A movie adaption of Frank Miller’s graphic novel, 300 tells the story of King Leonidas who took a “walk” with 300 of his strongest men as “bodyguards” to stop the Persians from invading his land.

If you are a fan of SinCity, Gladiator and Braveheart, you will, beyond any reasonable doubt, fall head over heels over 300 with a tinge of bloodlust.

It is the best damn shit you’ll feast your eyes upon ever!

The dark, solid red from their capes and blood (OH GOD SO MUCH BLOOD) stood out EVER SO BEAUTIFULLY against the washed out yellow-hued background. For an almost monocolour movie the colours were so rich you could almost EAT RIGHT OUT OF them. It wasn’t just a COMIC. It was pure art. It was art COMING TO LIFE. (think about jumbo coming to life. This is absolutely FANTASTIC!)

Highlight of the movie were the bloody battle scenes, which basically, IS the ENTIRE MOVIE. Like a perfectly choreographed ballet/acrobatic routine (less the tutus and the pointe shoes; add gallons of blood and violence), it was nothing short of BREATHTAKING. From the first moment you see the Spartans’ raising their shield in their first battle, you’ll realise that it’s gonna be a ride of fucking PURE PERPECTUAL PERFECTION. To see the men suspended in mid-air for one tenth of a second in slow-mo right before he pierces his spear into his enemy in real-time, splattering his blARdy remains everywhere - Pure Unadulterated Magic. Bloody. Brutal. Graceful. Priceless.

Mind-Fuckingly Beautifully done.

The soundtrack which accompanied these fight scenes were so powerful it makes you want to JUMP UP, grab the nearest OBJECT, TEAR your cothes off, RUN into the screen, YELL a war cry and join the Spartan army to kick some Persian ASS. It MAKES you thirsty, lusting for BLOOD, to taste it on your LIPS.

The exaggerated, perfectly sculpted bodies of the men akin to greek gods. The mutant beasts of your nightmares. The god-king which reminds you of the Unraveler from the second act of Diablo 2. All these fantasy characters were you can actually believe that THEY COULD BE REAL. That a man could be 4 heads taller than you and still look normal. That a man could endure the piercing of 3 spears move around as though it were a scratch. That elephants the height of a 10 storey building walk among us. That men of such valour, such passion, such fierce strength, such insane loyalty; could ever exist in this world.

SHure, the lines were pretty damn cheesy and predictable. Sure all the steamy sex scenes were cut off.(Not that I really BOTHER about that.) Sure, the blood looks exaggeratted somewhat. Sure, the ending was too sudden. But you won’t CARE. All these tiny shortcomings are all negligible to how beautifuckinglyful this movie is, if ever a violent blood-thirsty war movie can ever be described as beautiful. This movie should be GORE-TIFUL! Your only real regret would be that it ran for too short.

I absoFUCKINGlutly do not know how to describe this show. My poor command of the English language just isn't enough. Please, stop reading and START booking the FUCKING tickets! It is well worth the buy.

Can't wait for the original director's cut and DVD to be released in Singapore. It will definately BLOW YOUR MIND! MIND BOGGLING!

SHOO! go WATCH it NOW!

You will definately not regret it.
