Epic storytelling with oodles of style. A true joy to behold.

Rating: Null/10 (6 January 2008)

I love "300". From beginning to end, every stylised frame is a work of art. The visuals, the soundtrack, the action...the elements of this film combine to deliver a powerhouse jab of adrenalin to the viewer. This is truly a unique experience but there are some similarities to the other Miller vehicle, "Sin City". Both films utilise green-screen technology to tell their story in a dramatic, escapist fashion and emulate their comic book origins.
Gerard Butler was born to play King Leonidas. It's the role of a lifetime and he breathes real life into this historical character. The supporting cast are also magnificent.
What really makes Miller's tale so enjoyable is the introduction of fantasy elements to the Battle of Thermopylae. These escapist touches are truly excellent and make for a gripping viewing experience.
10 out of 10. Unmissable action and epic storytelling. I can't wait to see what director Zack Snyder does with "Watchmen"!
