Writer-director
Zack Snyder set out to faithfully adapt
Frank Miller’s graphic novel
300 and his slavish devotion to the source material pays off with a visually stunning, innovative epic unlike anything we’ve seen. Aesthetically speaking,
300 is a remarkable piece of art.Snyder’s striking use of color helps to emphasize and enhance the mood of each scene, and the CGI work is fluid and flawless. With surprisingly fleshed out characters and a plot that’s both simple and deep,
300 blends bloody violence, sensuality, brutality, and moments of true beauty into an intoxicatingly unconventional film experience.
