Quick Review: A legendary tale of valor, which Snyder adapts with epic effect, the testosterone-driven "300" is led by Gerard Butler's masculine charisma, and fueled with arousing, highly stimulating battle sequences, enhanced by flashy CGIs and nifty slow-motion, which look even more stylishly gritty through the grainy, high-contrast cinematography with golden tint that gives a picture-like artfulness to the visuals, offering as many state-of-the-art shots, as the action does sheer thrills.
