BEST MOVIES OF 2007 - Number 8




300 – Some of the knocks I heard on this movie were that it was too over-the-top, not believable, and couldn’t keep up the intensity for the entire movie. I beg to differ on all counts and found 300 to be one of the most kick ass movies of the year. A movie like The Kite Runner wins me over because it creates a moral dilemma and I am left thinking about how I would react in those situations for days after the reel has stopped spinning. A movie like 300 scores with me because I leave the theater jazzed up and ready to take on the world. The last movie I saw before 300 that left me with such an adrenaline rush was The Matrix. And I have that listed as one of my all time favorite films.
300 doesn’t have the brains that The Matrix had, but it has all of the other flavors including visual effects that left my jaw inches from the floor.
