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.

Chicago Sun-Times

300 has one-dimensional caricatures who talk like professional wrestlers plugging their next feud.

Rated: 2/4

In this handsome pantomime, the performances are not what we are watching.

Rated: 3/5

Joshua Polanski

Boston Hassle

Zack Snyder’s incredibly stylized telling of the Battle of Thermopylae gives nearly any other film on this side of the century marker an insurmountable standard to claim the title as the most mythological storytelling display in 21st-century cinema.

Deep Focus Review

300 claims some impressive visuals, but the narrow-mindedness of the plot and the childishness of the writing made this film hugely disappointing.

Rated: 1.5/5

Forget realism, this is Greek history as a macho fantasy that privileges brute force over intellect and turns war in an epic gladiator battle.

Ghosty Very cool story, artistry, and action. Very violent. Excellent comic book style movie, based on a Frank Miller graphic novel, similar style to Sin City. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/21 Full Review Liam R Overall the cast is great, the action scenes are very well made but the vast retelling of the historical events, unnecessary graphic sex scenes makes this a watch once and you are good film. Overall not bad but I expected better. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review josh d Style over substance. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Milox B «300» est un film marquant par sa bande sonore épique et ses visuels saisissants. La musique montre l’intensité dramatique, tandis que la palette de couleurs unique et certaines scènes de bataille au ralenti créent des tableaux visuels impressionnants. Cependant, le film souffre d’un scénario peu accrocheur, ainsi que d’une utilisation excessive de fonds verts qui trahit parfois les limites des effets spéciaux. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Hargie M A film that I absolutely adore. Its unique visual style, powerful performances, and thrilling action make it a standout in the genre of epic war movies. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Aender S "Dulce est pro patria mori" the movie with all the verbiage about honour and similar stuff.What insipid bullsh*t. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
