Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 takes over the screen like an invading horde. With all the gushing blood of a horror movie and the scope of a classic epic, the second film from Zack Snyder (who helmed the 2004 remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD) is an impressive visual spectacle.

This movie was incredibly done. There were scenes that were just like the book. Many scenes had the spirit of the original illustration while greatly utilizing the abilities that a film has. Some scenes were added in, that weren't in the original book (it was kind of short). All the added scenes were appropriate and well done. Definitely worth a watch! Note: Not for the faint-hearted. This is a movie about a bloody battle, and there is some gore in it.
What's great about it: Visiually stunning, much like the comic books!
