With 300, a movie based on a comic by Frank Miller based on a real-life war, Zack Snyder really came into his own! Although Zack had done previous work, 300 cemented him as the go-to-guy on comic book movie adaptations. He has a flair for directing that lends itself perfectly to that medium. The surreal quality of the movie enhances the great story and created a trademark style that hasn't been so widely known since the effects of the Matrix!
The story is about a group of 300 Spartan warriors who refuse to surrender to the Persian army that is preparing to add Greece to it's empire. Taking a small group of 300 men into a pass that separates Greece from the Persians, King Leonidas (portrayed by uber-buff Gerard Butler) tries to hold the pass until the rest of Greece will fall in behind the Spartans and protect their freedom from the empire-loving Persians. What ensues is a gory, stylized war the likes of which viewers had never seen! A landmark movie that put Zack Snyder and Gerard Butler on the map...and made buff Greek guy movies popular again!
