Frank Miller's graphic novel is brought to the screen in beautiful form with 300. With highly-stylized environments and fight sequences, the film really plays as a graphic novel brought to life. The world of 300 is vivid and at times purely awesome, and the action does not disappoint, with slow motion effects and gritty battles. The performances are well done, but one thing that bothered me personally was the Scottish accent of the actor portraying Leonides. It is not so heavy, however, to distract from the film, but is noticeable enough to stand out a bit. The narration is nicely done and the soundtrack is great, adding dimension to the film as a whole. The extras DVD could stand a bit more features than what is included, but in all is an interesting addition. I highly recommend this film.
