300 Trailer & Photos
All Critics (225) | Top Critics (46) | Fresh (144) | Rotten (96) | DVD (44)
300 has one-dimensional caricatures who talk like professional wrestlers plugging their next feud.
A muscle-magazine fantasy crossed with a video game and an Army recruiting film.
300 was as pathetically puerile as I had expected.
It might have been one of the great all-time mad, bad movies but for one thing - it's just sooo boring.
As to this pumped-up spectacle's other aims, it's anybody's guess: selling gladiatorial chest-beating as beefcake erotica? Combining a movie and its own video-game spin-off into one package? Being both a dessert topping and a floor wax?
The kids just want to have fun. Many of them will. But what does that say about another Greek contribution -- Western civilization?
So manly it makes Troy look like a Mary-Kate and Ashley adventure.
Wallowing in the same adolescent nihilism as his Sin City, this adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel suffers from a similar lack of momentum.
even without all the special features, 300 is the kind of movie you want to put in the Blu-ray player, turn down the lights, turn up the volume and experience it
As the first blockbuster of the year, 300 sets the bar high enough, and is enjoyably silly.
Despite a cracking central premise and outstanding visuals, 300 ultimately leaves you feeling more gutted than some of the disemboweled soldiers on display throughout the movie.
If 300 represents an evolution in 'virtual' cinema, then at the same time it tells a story that transports us back to the violent roots of western civilisation.
Awesome!
Visually thrilling and viscerally satisfying.
Asscrack-ugly
...it features some of the most-beautiful packaging for any disc of any kind to date. (Blu-ray Book Edition)
This is cinema as a fireside storyteller, retelling heroic tales handed down through the generations.
[Snyder] twists the brawn and battle into a cartoonish FX extravaganza with severed body parts and globules of blood flying across the screen.
300 is a fun-fest of blood, mayhem, and absurdity. At its best, it is entertaining; when it's not at its best, it's pretty dumb. It's pretty dumb much of the time.
Zack Snyder's film version of the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley may look like the greatest music video ever made; whether or not it is a decent feature film is another question altogether.
This is death and war as ancient poets might have imagined it, glorious and provocative ... 300 is a powerhouse actioner.

- King Leonidas: The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed.
-
- King Leonidas: You bring the crowns and heads of conquered kings to my city steps. You insult my queen. You threaten my people with slavery and death! Oh, I've chosen my words carefully, Persian. Perhaps you should have done the same!
- Messenger: This is blasphemy! This is madness!
- King Leonidas: Madness...?
- Messenger: This is Sparta!
