300

300: Directed by Zack Snyder. With Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, Dominic West, David Wenham. King Leonidas of Sparta and a force of 300 men fight the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C.

I’m pretty sure this is the movie that gave Zack Snyder the political clout to be given the reigns to the DCU. Sadly the success of “300” was accomplished with slow motion, hyper masculine men doing hyper masculine things, all with some extremely heavy filters and high contrast cinematography, none of which translated well enough to be effective in comic books movies. They did certainly work for this film though, largely due to the physicality and acting chops of both Gerald Butler and Lena Headey.

I own this on HD-DVD, take from that what you will.
