Comepletely, and without hesitation, I can yell down the halls of my dorm at 2:30am, that that was not madness,
IT
WAS
SPAARTAAAAA!
Holy frickin cow. That was the most epic movie I have seen in all my days. The number of times I nearly lept from my seat out of sheer amazement, the number of times I shouted in awe, the number of times I felt as the imagery took my breath away, and the number of times I felt chills run down my frame, never before in a film have so many of those events occured, in as close succession, as they did in 300.
Go see this movie. It's awesome; in a very literal sense of the word.
