What's better than watching completely ripped muscle men wearing nothing more than a cape and tunic while slicing through the bodies of countless Persian soldiers with sheer manliness? 300 of them.

Recently a friend and I saw the movie 300. It seemed it was all over in a flash and when we stepped out of the theater our adrenaline was running high. Never in my life have I seen a movie capable of filling me with so much energy. After witnessing the utter brute and strength of these muscle-popping warriors, I couldn't help but hitting the gym as soon as possible. As well as being a stunning spectacle of a film, 300 is a great motivator for doing some much needed exercise.

By now you have most likely read at least a couple of the reviews that the critiques have provided. They try and make this movie seem like something mediocre or nothing special with degrading comments about lousy acting or storyline. Truth be told, even if the acting or storyline is lousy, (which I think it is not, Gerard Butler does a tremendous job of embodying a Spartan king), the shocking visuals and often-times grizzly graphics will put you in such disbelief, that you'll soon forget about run-of-the-mill acting or lame story lines. Obviously spectacle is meant to play the greatest role in this film and it certainly does.

No matter what the critiques say, 300, out of all the films released this year, is not one you want to pass up. One extra note as well, see if you can catch this one in theaters. It's a big movie, it needs a big screen.
