Uber Immortal

300, the first Zack Snyder entry on this list, is one of the most entertaining (albeit paper thin) movies of the 2000’s. How can it be otherwise when it’s based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller (the guy behind Sin City) about Spartans vs. Persians?

And 300 is filled with brutal moments, from Leonidas’ training in the beginning to the Spartan King’s death in the end. But the scene in which the brave 300 (or how many remained) face the Immortals takes the cake.

At that point, Leonidas goes up against the Uber Immortal, who’s literally a beast of a man. He shrugs off any blows coming at him (even blows that would at least incapacitate even the bravest of all Spartans). Slashed leg? No biggie. Pierced arm? Just a flesh wound.  A spear in the eye? It’s okay; he has two of them.

He’s brought down only when his head is cut off.

Of course, if you want historical accuracy, 300 is definitely not for you. But if you want brutal action, 300 stands the test of time.
