Anticipating 300

I'm actually excited to see how Director Zack Snyder depicts the ferocious Battle of Thermopylae as channeled through the imagination of graphic novelist Frank Miller. I'm typically one to favor a drama over classic war scenes, but I should have known once I saw previews for 300, that the eerie, dark, beautiful Matt Mahurin-esque style was created from the same mind that created Sin City.

300 (at this writing) has a full 100% Critic's Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes - a rare review score within their extensive movie database.

The movie opens March 9 - and if all 300 Spartans are sporting the same abs as depicted here, I may have to see it on opening day.

This looks amazing. Like Gladiator + Hero + Sin City.
