Frank Miller's violent homage to a highly fictionalized historical event can't seem to completely divorce itself from an overblown Hollywood vibe.
men in short skirts again again....lots of them....lol!
and i'm also partial to Frank Miller comic books....geeeeek alert!
its interesting. far from great, but its on the cusp of a new form of filmmaking.
I fell asleep watching it with my gf tho! but liked it xD (posts as she said i would!)
visually catchy and entertaining from zack snyder.grabs your attention and keeps it ina chokehold.loved the graphic novel as a kid

A verry spectactular movie with great and bloody fighting scenes. Thet did a great job adabting the comic book from Frank Miller (know from Sin city) to screen.
A must see.
I postponed seeing 300 for a very long time because I thought I would hate it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously, having Gerard Butler play the lead helped ;)
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
