Amazing!

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2015)

The first film directed by Zack Snyder that I watch was "300", a film based on Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's, which is one of the comic books written by Miller "Sin City" and this film is a perfect example of what Zack Snyder can do with graphic novel films.
The plot revolves around King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), who leads 300 Spartans into battle against the Persian "god-King" Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his invading army of more than 300,000 soldiers. As the battle rages, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) attempts to rally support in Sparta for her husband.
Through this narrative technique, various fantastical creatures are introduced, placing 300 within the genre of historical fantasy.
The story stays true to the comic book and the script is also written by Zack Snyder and two other writers. The film is just amazing in every aspect for what this film is and it is cool. Gerard Butler proved that he was the perfect choice for Leonidas and it shows throughout his whole performance.
David Wenham played Dilios and he does a good job in his performance and it was an amazing performance that he pulled off and I have seen him in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson. Lena Headey as Queen Gorgo in this film, she is amazing and she is fantastic in that kiss scene with Gerard Butler and she was really cool.
The visuals and action sequences are amazingly well-done and death plays an important part in this feature film. It is spectacular and amazing. This movie stays true to it's source material and I cannot say more about this movie.
Tyler Bates' musical score was amazing and fantastic to hear in the film and his musical score for Watchmen (which I reviewed on IMDb and appears on my Top 10 Comic Book list and Top 10 Overrated Movies list) is just great and spectacular.
Overall, I love 300 and the film is just incredibly well-done and Zack Snyder and Company did a really good job in staying true to it's source material.
9/10
