Summary: A retelling of the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C., in which King Leonidas and 300 Spartans faced off against the seemingly endless hordes of Persia. This version is adapted from the graphic novel by Frank Miller.
Things I Liked: The visuals and overall look of the film. 300's crowning achievement is it's almost poetic beauty and in the artistic way that it reproduces Miller's work for the cinema. Strangely, the crunching, industrial music inspired score works.
Things I Disliked: Some of the anachronistic, fan-boy dialogue (which I presume works much better on the pages of a comic book). It's not a major thing, but it can be jarring to hear Scottish, Welsh and British accents issuing forth from the mouths of Greek soldiers.
