A great movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2008)

300 liked the graphic novel it was based on is a great story. The actors are all great especially Gerald Butler s King Leonidas. Rodrigo Santero also plays the role of Xerxes great. But what truly makes this film stand out is the beautiful battle scenes. The camera-work is great and it is all very well coordinated. The Spartans deliver their lines greatly and the battles from the graphic novel are all well represented. For the most part the dialogue is good, but at times it comes across cheesy. The Queen Gorgo subplot which was not in the graphic novel is not that good and really has no role. This is the example that filmmakers should use when translating graphic novels into movies.
