This movie by Zack Snyder is an adaptation of the graphic novel by Frank Miller. Frank's other graphic series is Sin City, after which he directed the movie in the same name.
Now coming to the movie in discussion - 300. The movie packs a lot of testosterone and is very well directed with a novel color scheme (Sepia) as far as movies are concerned. Further, the war scenes, mostly in slow motion, give a re-firming effect. The special affects are jaw-dropping. Basically, 300 is a fantasy tale based on the Battle of Thermophylae in which 300 Spartans led by the fierce King Leonidas (played by Gerard Butler) made a heroic stand against the overwhelming Persian army commanded by Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro, unrecognizable as the larger-than-life, pierced and golden androgynous creature). The movie has all the elements - war, eroticism, politics, humor and of course blood, more blood and hell more blood!
The movie is must watch for someone who can withstand some cruel killings, carnage with a difference! People with weak hearts are recommended not to watch the movie! :-)
