This is possibly the best historical retelling since The Ten Commandments. Flawless.

300 gave me a total adrenaline/testosterone rush from watching well-oiled, bronzed, nude-torsoed men with rippling muscles and six(teen)-pack abs put their lives on the line to preserve the liberty of their city-state. Never a dull moment.300 gave me a total adrenaline/testosterone rush from watching well-oiled, bronzed, nude-torsoed men with rippling muscles and six(teen)-pack abs put their lives on the line to preserve the liberty of their city-state. Never a dull moment. And oh, the gore and blood splatter - they made it almost artistic and sure stirred my blood lust! Very visceral, with slo-mo used to great effect in the fighting scenes. Expand

Awesome movie....do not think that an artists work is undermined by non believers. This movie is beautiful...from a guy who is just one mainstream movie old! Beautiful sequences and powerful performances is what this movie is all about!

Historically not accurate, but never pretended to be. This movie is greatly done and good entertainment, especially for male spectators.

I thought this was an utterly inspiring and moving film from start to finish.

I thought this was an utterly inspiring and moving film from start to finish. Sure it was highly interspersed with CG, holding it that much further away from reality, but do we go to films to watch straight cut- to- screen believable themes? Not all the time. It didn't dally about with crap, it cut to the point and no, it didn't leave much to the imagination but it didn't have to. It laid everything out for you to just enjoy.The musical score was moving, the visual lighting set the right mood -harsh, aggressive, dark and powerful. As a woman, the visuals never suited me any better. The sad thing is, these type of men actually don't exsist in real life. Ones who are willing to fight for their right to live, for their people and their country. These men have no fear and real honour in themselves, who could ask for more? The fact that it was set in a time before guns and nuclear weapons is a breath of fresh air too, the violence in it didn't make me want to throw up like so many modern day "action films" try to make their audience do. I'd see this film over most of the rubbish currently airing, if i wanted to see another will ferrel movie i'd have myself committed. 300 is highly enjoyable, send a few Spartans round to my place any day.

Stop twisting the story to get your anti-Iraq War motives out in the open. The film was good. Of course it was historically inaccurate - it's a movie (based on a graphic novel) - I'm sure the author would take some literally leeway and add some fantasy and fiction. Jesus, go watch a documentary if you want "historically accurate." Also, I don't see how it could have been in any way boring - unless perhaps you were just on a bad date. Expand

There is bloodshed, but that is unavoidable in a tale that pits 300 Spartans protecting their right to live as free men against a massive army of invading Persians. The bloodletting is not so much extreme as it is relevant and poetic and stylized. Zach Snyder has portrayed this battle - which includes skewered limbs and decapitations - with an artistic grace that removes the 'cringe' factor. The spattering blood is not overdone. It is relevant and understandable. It is elemental. I am a woman and I drank this movie in. 300 strips away all the nonsense that we are sometimes subjected to in story telling and gets to the basics. There is no foolish fluff in this movie. It is raw! Every word, move, action, look and sound is relevant. The soundtrack blends flawlessly. There is nothing to distract you from the pure beauty of the visuals and the unprocessed emotion portrayed. 300 is about strength and honor and courage and even love. I know Expand

I can't begin to understand why anyone wouldn't like this movie. The message of the movie is to not take crap from anyone. And it seems the people who hate this movie have a sexual fantasy with the government bossing them around.

If you go to this An excellent film, stylish looking, with superbly crafted battle scenes, that clearly show the audiance the art that is Spartan combat. I have seen and read the negative reviews others have written and can only say this. If you go to this movie understanding that this is a comic book adaptation of an actualy historic event, you won't be disappointed. However, if you are looking for historic accuracy you will be greatly disappointed. This is a BIG movie, with BIG lines. There are very few subtlety with the exception being between Queen Gorgon and King Leonidas, but the movie conveys pure power of conviction, all the more palitable because it did happen. Expand

This film is all about bending history and art, from my eyes. Sure, it might not follow the true story. But what hollywood movie/comic does? Galdiator did not follow the truth. If a movie were to follow the true story of anything, no one This film is all about bending history and art, from my eyes. Sure, it might not follow the true story. But what hollywood movie/comic does? Galdiator did not follow the truth. If a movie were to follow the true story of anything, no one would watch it, at least the mass. This movie has a great mixture of art and the art of war. A very poetic movie based off a graphic novel. Along with the violence you have nudity, but not demeaning at all. To me this film reminded me of all the old ancient greek/roman statues we all see. Like Nike adjusting her sandles, the oracle dances in the nude with similar thin silky robes wrapped around her body. One thing that bugs me about the whole Sparta vs Persian debate is that people try to nit pick everything they see. Right now the Iranians are having an uproar because they think the "persians" in the movie depick them as what they used to be. First thing first. This movie does not say "america vs Iraq." This movie is about the 300 spartans that went to war with all of persia. Persia is not Iraq. Sure, they are in the same place...but Persia is dead. This is just a movie off of a Graphic Novel. The monsters in the movie are creative, they remind me of something you will see in a comic book. Anyways, enough of my rant. If you have not seen the movie yet because of the reviews on this site, then you are missing out on a great experience. I went into this movie not knowing anything really and came out excited and ready to see it again. 300 is a masterpiece. Expand

You have to suspend disbelief for a few hours and just ENJOY the movie. 300 is the kind of movie that makes me want to be a better filmmaker. The cinematography of the film is gorgeous. The intensity of the film kept the entire theatre at the edge of their seats. The beginning is a little slow, as are most scenes that explain the exposition and background of a character. Other than that, the scenes were beautifully crafted so that there wasn't too much action without a storyline. Definately see this film in the theater if you can. Make your own judgment about it. There is a story, and there is a purpose, but it will be different for everyone. Expand

It's eye candy and visceral action at its best. It's a fantastical retelling and oh is it gorgeous.

Everbody that I have talked to thought it was amazing. And for you people who clame "it was not historicly accurate".. your wrong. Do some research. Didnt you ever pay attention in History class? The movie (and the graphic novel that it is translated from) is pretty dead on with the actual battle. The action was very well choriographed (im too lazy to find the right spelling), and the acting was top notch. The dialog was great, not over bearing, but moving when it needed to be. Go see it for yourself, but keep an open mind. Yes there is lots of cg (computer graphics), but it simpy adds to the whole theme of the story, with dark clouds, and dirty landscapes. It shows the grim situation facing the Spartans. One last note, I find it funny and frustrating, that movie critics are always ripping apart book to movie translations... why? because they leave out too much. They complain that so and so should have been left in.. and so on. Yet Zach Snyder (the director) did a bold thing and directly took the graphic novel and put each page (from what ive read) into the movie. Nothing is left out, and not very much is added, besides some dialog. You think that would be good right? Take a look at Village Voice review... "Frankly, it's the slavish, frame-by-frame devotion to Miller's source material that's the problem."....well I guess some critics just cant be pleased either way.... Expand
