May 3, 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.

July 1, 2009No real compliants here. I think I was looking for a little more, but Snyder did Frank Miller justice and once again showed how good a movie you can make in a warehouse. While the violence did go gore-happy, I can't complain, but in a way the 2 hours of killing kinda made the end... ...( read more )

Pete Hammond, Maxim
A landmark motion picture, a spectacular visual feast that is as inventive and groundbreaking as 'The Matrix'. full review

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

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Watching 300, there's the arresting sense of eavesdropping on another time. full review

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

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It is a wall-to-wall canvas of expressionist ultraviolence. full review

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

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!!!
