Frank Miller's graphic novels are nearly the storyboards for filmmakers. In other words, directors can easily know what the movies could look like before they start shooting any scene. The movie "300" is the highlight of the adaptation of Miller's works.
The question is: what else did the director Zach Snyder bring to the story except the adrenalin-pumping and action-packed moments? Some critics use "airless" to describe this movie, while I think such a comment would appear to be unfair to the actors. The reason why I enjoy watching "300" is primarily the performance of Gerry Butler who portrayed the legendary Leonidas. Butler has proved to the world his mesmerizing acting by the role of "phantom" in "Phantom of the Opera (2005)," the adaptation of the beloved Broadway show with the same title. His Leonidas is not only convincing but also commands the movie as Leonidas commanded his Spartan army.
Watching "300" is no doubt a highly entertaining journey.
