Movies based on comic books or graphic novels are funny things sometimes.The cast is populated by character actors - an effective approach because it makes it easier to lose sight of the actors than might be the case if they were readily identifiable. Gerard Butler delivers a memorable performance as King Leonidas. Not only does he deliver emotional dialogue and patriotic speeches, the guy is ripped. When he goes into action, there's no doubt in your mind that he's capable of slicing and dicing Persians. This is also a breakout role for Lena Headey as Queen Gorgo. She's beautiful and noble as the love of King Leonidas. And while the real action is taking place far away, frequent cuts back to her continue the political intrigue going on at the homefront. David Wenham also plays Dilios, the narrator of the story. He serves as our eyes and ears in the film and really pulls you into the narrative.

Nice review. I felt 300 had too much of blood and gore. (Masala). The dramatics were good, would have been better without the cinematic gimmicks.
