NgoMashi 23, yakhishwa kumabhayisikobho ezweni lonke ibhayisikobho 300, ukuguqulelwa kwesikrini esikhulu kwinoveli kaFrank Miller (yesibili ngemuva kweSin City). Manje isizinda siyashintsha futhi siyayibona impi yaseThermopylae (480 BC), lapho amaqhawe angama-300 aseSpartan azama ukumisa ukuqhubekela phambili kwebutho likaXerxes 'lasePheresiya lisendleleni eya ezweni laseGrisi kanye nemicimbi eyaholela kuyo ngokombono kaLeonidas, inkosi yaseSparta.
Phakathi kokugxekwa okuningi okuvezwe yile filimu, kuningi okungasukumi phansi kwesisindo sabo. Enye yazo ngokwesibonelo lokho ayinabucayi bomlando. Uma sibheka ukuthi kungukuguquguquka (kokuthembeke kakhulu kulabo abafunde amahlaya) komsebenzi kaFrank Miller, akudingeki ubheke izinyawo ezintathu ekati, kufanele ubheke nje enguqulweni yephepha bese uphawula ngokuqina komlando kwalokhu. Elinye lamaphuzu amnyama anikezwa ukugxekwa ukuxolisa kwakhe ngempi yase-Iraq. Umbuzo uthi kungani uvela e-Iraq? Futhi ngisho nangaphezulu, ngubani okumele amele umbutho wezempi wase-US? Ngoba uXerxes ewuhlobo lukaGeorge Bush Jr., angicabangi ukuthi angalithanda iqhaza lakhe kule filimu kakhulu.
Enye into ukuthi umbukwane wegazi uyinhloko, setha imishwana nokulandela ngokulandelana ngamashothi wokuhamba kancane empini yomhosha kugcwele, konke kungaphansi kwezizinda ezicishe zenzelwe. Noma ukuthi ukusebenza kungancika kancane kumongo okwenzeka kuwo okuningi kwefilimu, okungukuthi, izigcawu zempi.
Noma kunjalo kimi ukusebenza kwe- UGerard Butler njengoLeonidas kubonakala kunembile kimi. Sesivele simbonile uButler enezindima ezisekelayo kuTimeline, The Empire of Fire noma iTomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, kepha lapho ayegqame khona emphakathini jikelele wayenefilimu yomculo iThe Phantom of the Opera kaJoel Schumacher. Kulokhu, wanikela ngempilo, ekhombisa amakhono akhe njengomculi. Leyo jet yezwi yenza ukuthi uma kungenzeka ukubona ama-300 enguqulweni yayo yoqobo, kunconywa kakhulu kunaleyo ebizwa ngeSpanishi. Ezigcawini lapho kufanele akhuthaze khona amasosha akhe, ukhipha amabhasi athi ebhayisikobho enza ngisho izindonga zithuthumele. Abalingisi abasele bakhiwe nguLena Headey njengeNdlovukazi uGorgo, uRodrigo Santoro njengoXerxes noma uDavid Wenham njengoDilios abagcwalisa okulindeleke kubo.
Ngemuva kwesigcawu uZack Snyder, ohlelo lwakhe kuze kube manje lwalunamafilimu amancane ambalwa, okuzoqalwa kuwo ukuqalwa kwakhe neDawn of the Dead, inguqulo yefilimu iZombie (1978), nguthisha uGeorge A. Romero. Ngama-300, uSnyder udale elinye lamaculo amakhulu okugcina emabhayisikobho aseMelika, futhi manje usengene shí ekukhiqizeni okwenziwa ngemuva kweWatchmen, okungenye yamahlaya amahle kakhulu emlandweni ka-Alan Moore noDave Gibbons.
