300

Utilising CG backdrops to slavishly replicate Frank Miller's comic series palette, 300 presents a breathtakingly stylish vision of the Battle of Thermopylae that is loud, brash and bone-crunchingly violent.

With his frame-for-frame recreation of Frank Miller's epic comic series, Snyder took a leaf out of Sin City's book and earned himself a shot directing the Holy Grail of graphic novel adaptations, Watchmen. Utilising CG backdrops to slavishly replicate Miller's palette, 300 presents a breathtakingly stylish vision of the Battle of Thermopylae that, while historically bunk, is loud, brash and bone-crunchingly violent.
