God forbid anyone tells the true story of free men of the West defeating an army of slaves from the East. It is such an inconvenient truth to those who are ashamed of the privileges they enjoy, and dismissive of their source. And because God doesn… Expand

I don't know what the heck all the critics were talking about. I loved the movie and it was everything I had hoped it would be. I plan to buy the dvd when it is released. Finally a movie well worth the box office price!

I'm not a comic book fan ... but this is magnificent. Great art, action and a tale of bravery, honor, and sacrifice for freedom. No wonder so many critics don't like it.

I preordered my ticket and waited for 20 minutes to get into the theater and got a seat way in front to the side and it was still worth it. This movie moved me. I wish i could have seen the IMAX but it was sold out for 3 days straight in my theater.

Sure, we are all entitled to opinions, but I'm starting to question WHO decided that some of these critics are professionals in the motion picture industry? I'm assuming the critics were either a) having a bad day and needed to vent or b) watched the wrong movie, thinking it was 300. "300" is incredible. Everything from the acting, to the screenplay & cinematography was amazing. Not perfect, but very entertaining and visually stimulating the entire film. The visuals alone dictate a rating above "53" that the critics are giving it. Story wasn't the greatest, but as a whole, this movie is up there with "Gladiator" and "Braveheart". Better? I wouldn't dare go that far, but "300" is still a solid film from opening credits to the end. Fight scenes were intense and very realistic with a touch of CGI and cool camera effects to add some Miller-esque flavor to the mix. This movie makes me even more impressed with the Spartan warriors of their time. Simply amazing. Go see this film and be the judge yourself. I'm starting to doubt critics more and more often. I guess thats why they are called "critics".… Expand

I gotta be honest. Probably the most honest as you're gonna hear about this movie. 300 is just...OK. The visual style, while pretty cool, wasn't evolutionary or revolutionary. Just....cool.

The visual style, while pretty cool, wasn't evolutionary or revolutionary. Just....cool. As for the story...meh. Don't really care about the characters or the emotions they're conveying. Pretty forgettable. Just pretty much interested in seeing what would happen in the next battle. To be honest, the CG background, while beautiful at times, can kinda take away from the look and just be distracting. I appreciate 300 for trying some new things from the cinematography standpoint, but otherwise don't go in looking for anything else except for kinda cool eye candy.… Expand

There is a delineation between the two. 300 is not thought provoking or extraordinarily deep...but DAMN is it fun to watch! The cinematography was gorgeous and seamless and the fight scenes were very well choreographed. For those who complain about its historical accuracy...people...this movie was based on a graphic novelist's exaggeration of the original story. And to add to the people who complain that it's a "propaganda movie:" This was a historical event that took place 2000 some odd years ago, so to say that we are giving it modern attributions is borderline ridiculous. Also...300 vs. a metric ton of soldiers sounds more like the insurgency vs. the US rather than the other way around. That being said, I would highly recommend going to see this movie for its sheer entertainment value. If you go expecting to see a "Best Picture of the Year" movie then don't. If you go expecting to see eye candy in every sense of the word then absolutely go.… Expand

is the film campy? yes and no; this is how we believe they would talk and look and feel. we all watched braveheart and thought, 'ya that's how they'd talk and act and live etc.' b/c we look at that time period as dark and unsophisticated. we look at the greeks at socialized and understandable and that's what we get. it is definitely a love or hate film, i don't think there is an in the middle with this one nor do i think you can blame someone for hating or loving it. its one of those films that you see and think one of two ways; 1. amazing, beautiful, epic or 2. gratuitous, spacious, pointless. and depending on what your expectations were is where you'll sit. a note to those that have not seen the film: expect a violent, fast paced and action driven film not a historical, slow, plot/dialogue drive piece.… Expand

Because the events shown is almost exactly what happened at the battle at Thermopyles ("hot gates") at 480 BC - minus the rhinos, the elephants, the theatrical make-up of the Persians, all necessary exaggerated theatrical depictions. This movie and the comic try hard -and succeed- represent the essence of the event: 300 men tried to stop an one million+ men strong army, and almost did, if there was not Efialtis (the greek word for "nightmare" from there and on). The faces does look greek, Leonidas beard looks historically acurate, the lines are quoted from history ("come and get it", "return with that shield or on it", etc) Probably the best "Ancient Greece" movie to date.… Expand
