It was filmed mostly with a superimposition chroma key technique to replicate the imagery of the original comic book. The film was co-written and directed by Zack Snyder, while Miller served as executive producer and consultant. Both are fictionalized retellings of the Battle of Thermopylae in the Persian Wars. This movie is destined to be at least in the top 100.300 is a 2006 American epic historical action film based on the 1998 comic series of the same name by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley.

So,you read my Comment? Aren't you curious? What are you waiting for? Run to the nearest cinema,see this piece of art and when you are finished don't forget to come to IMDb to vote. We will surely see more of him in the upcoming years. Kudos to Zack Snyder,who came from nowhere and has,already from Dawn of the Dead,proved that he is a brilliant and capable director. This movie,together with the LOTR,is the entrance to the 21st century's new epic movies. All those who will pay the ticket to see this movie,must be prepared not for a historic movie,but for a stylish battle movie. But always remember that this is a movie that is based on a graphic novel and is by no means a faithful depiction of what really happened in Thermopylae in 480 B.C. You must see it to understand how great this movie is. The anger in his eyes,the fury in his voice and the violence in his actions really reminded an ancient Greek king),but I won't ruin it for you. I could write something about the plot or the actors's outstanding performances(especially Gerard Butler's.you see,being Greek-Italian,I wanted the best from the actors.Butler gave it. I thought they were comparable,if not better,to the LOTR,go see for yourselves. All the camera work and graphics exceeded my expectations.

The result? This movie was a pleasure for the eye. Just like in the Lord of the Rings,much CGI was used here. 300 doesn't apply to this category.Besides it takes the epic to the next level.And more are like to follow.

Almost every epic movie that will be made today,no matter how good the story will be or how faithful will be to reality,is bound to repeat itself.We got examples from Alexander and Kingdom of Heaven. Ben Hur,Braveheart,Gladiator,Spartacus and perhaps even Troy are only some of the epic movies that gave the audience so big thrills that they cannot be repeated. But how can you make a new movie,for the audience to like,without recycling old material? Answer:You improve what old filmmakers couldn't:Graphics. After gaving us some of the greatest epic movies in the last 50 years,it was clear that filmmakers needed to take them to the next level.
