Pretty exciting, visually novel and almost bordering on quasi-theatrical spectacle.
This viewer detected a slightly anti-Islamic nuance to the whole thing, but it was watchable and well made.
I enjoyed this movie even though it's not the type of the movie that I like. I didn't expect much from the story it self but the camera work and graphics and battle scenes - amazing !!!
En ne gardant que l'aspect graphique du graphic nouvel, Snyder parviens tout de même à donner du style à son film. Les rajouts sont regrettables.

This film is phenominal. The styling of this film clearly illustrates it graphic novel origins. You're lead into this fantasay world that is not like any other film I've seen. I thought it was awesome.
Critic Reviews
300 has one-dimensional caricatures who talk like professional wrestlers plugging their next feud.full review
A landmark motion picture, a spectacular visual feast that is as inventive and groundbreaking as 'The Matrix'.full review
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
Watching 300, there's the arresting sense of eavesdropping on another time.full review
Does the film stay faithful to the Miller and Varley's vision? Indeed it does -- to a kunch!full review
300, even with its impressive vistas of computer-generated soldiers, is just a throwaway epic.full review
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
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
