So who here at Zelaron has been smart enough to dish out the hefty cost of watching of a movie and saw this flick?? If you haven't, let me suggest that you do so, immediately! This is an awesome movie that needs to be seen on the big screen. Of course, watching it on DVD will give you to option to watch and rewatch and rewatch every kickass fight sequence this amazing movie has to offer, but until you see it on a screen that no normal house can offer, you are missing out on cinematic genius!
If anyone has ever seen Braveheart, Gladiator, and Troy, let me indulge right now to give you a little better understanding of how ridiculous this movie is.
When I first saw Braveheart, I thought William Wallace was the baddest man on the face of the Earth. That was until I saw Gladiator. Enter the era of Maximus Decimus Meridius (or something like that?), as the new greatest hero in my eyes. He was a better trained warrior, and his fighting movements were swift, lethal, and better thought out than Wallace's. Just when you think it can't get any better, Troy is aired, and although it didn't do as well in theaters and with reviews as the other two movies, there is no doubt that Achillies would kick both Wallace's and Maximus's ass in a sword fight, and quite possibly, both at the same time. Hector, from Troy, is probably on the same playing field as Maximus, if not very close.
Now, imagine a movie that gives way to 300 warriors, of which most are on the same fighting plane as Achillies! Every movement these men made appear to be with the thought process of a chess player, keeping 10 moves ahead of the opposition. Sheilds were used in ways that no other movie has shown yet, and their movements had such raw power and ferocity behind it, that it made me wiggle and giggle in my seat like a little school girl that has her first crush. It was almost embarrassing how much I enjoyed this movie, and yes, in my lifetime, I can almost imagine that I will certainly watch this movie at least 300 times. It was THAT kickass!
To wrap up, see this movie, and see it in the theater. If you like the three movies I mentioned above as much as I do, you will LOVE this movie. Frank Miller, my hat is off to you good sir.
