September 29, 2009Not a bad film! A bit long-winded in places and it did seem to peak half way through but all in all it had some impressive action scenes, impressive CGI effects (something I usually hate in films) and some interesting characters. An above average film but not one for pacifists!

July 22, 2009This was a brilliant piece of cinema, no matter which way you look at it. If you're looking from the moraly rich angle, you'll find there is substance to this movie. It is hard to watch the final death roar of Leonidas, just before he's peppered by a million plus arrows, and not ...( read more)

April 5, 2009Hmmm tricky, the action is absolutely amazing, over the top ,bloody , fast, furious, deadly and brutal. The fantasy aspect is great..very much alike clash of the titans or LOTR, maybe too much like LOTR, the plot everybody knows, doesn't really spoil the outcome and the look is g...( read more)

March 6, 2009It redefines spectactuclar in every way. A visually stunning, utterly electrifying and ground-breaking masterpiece. Packed with explosive, non-stop bloody action.

November 20, 2009Groundbreaking and very well paced. Also has a lot of heart for a film which was dubbed "War Porn"

Pete Hammond, Maxim
A landmark motion picture, a spectacular visual feast that is as inventive and groundbreaking as 'The Matrix'. full review
March 10, 2007
Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
The film is little more than a colorfully stylish, throwaway epic, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with something that simply aims to be populist entertainment. full review
March 9, 2007
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Watching 300, there's the arresting sense of eavesdropping on another time. full review
March 9, 2007
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Does the film stay faithful to the Miller and Varley's vision? Indeed it does -- to a kunch! full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
300, even with its impressive vistas of computer-generated soldiers, is just a throwaway epic. full review
March 8, 2007
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
300 is about as violent as Apocalypto and twice as stupid. full review
March 8, 2007
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It is a wall-to-wall canvas of expressionist ultraviolence. full review
March 7, 2007
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
300 is a movie blood-drunk on its own artful excess. Guys of all ages and sexes won't be able to resist it. full review
March 7, 2007
Claudia Puig, USA Today
The battle sequences are filled with grotesque spectacle: They start off entertainingly ferocious, then grow numbing with stylized spraying blood and severed heads. full review

June 26, 2008This is a great movie! How tough were they, 300 against 300,000 and at the end of the battle, the 300 were dead, but 42,000 Persians were dead; I think they did their part! Kick-ass movie!!! Loved it!!!
