The TVI Take

Zack Snyder's 2006 adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel, an aesthetic exercise more than a historical one. Gerard Butler plays Leonidas at Thermopylae through Miller's hyper-stylized panel-to-screen translation.

The film's cognitive demand is low, but its visual influence on a decade of action cinema is structural enough to score above pure spectacle.
