300—such
an overwhelming delivery of terrific special effects that an audience may feel
it needs an ‘overload button’ to push for some relief—tells its great story in
perfect detail. It leaves nothing behind. The only criticism here is the narrator
voice seems annoying due to its dominance in the film. The movie may have been
more powerful if the narrator had been evenly sandwiched between storyline scenes.
Really good work for Actor Gerard Butler and Director Zack Snyder. The film deserves its 2014
sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire.
Storyline
Sparta’s
warriors face the Persian Empire at the Battle of Thermopylae.
Additional Thanks
Thank you to Director Zack Snyder for directing effort. Thank you to Executive
Producers William Fay, Craig J. Flores, Scott Mednick, Frank Miller, Deborah

Stelios (Michael Fassbender), Astinos (Tom Wisdom), Daxos (Andrew Pleavin),
Ephialtes (Andrew Tiernan), Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Pleistarchos

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes.
The film contains some of the best special effects in the business and shows the
acting skills of Gerard Butler and directing skills of Zack Snyder well.
