| Movie Description Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 takes over the screen like an invading horde. With all the gushing blood of a horror movie and the scope of a classic epic, the second film from Zack Snyder (who helmed the 2004 remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD) is an impressive visual spectacle. Gerard Butler (THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA) plays Leonidas, the king of ancient Sparta. The city is famous for its warrior philosophy, and Leonidas won't kneel to the demands of Persia's King Xerxes (LOST's Rodrigo Santoro). Instead, Leonidas leads his 300-strong army against Xerxes's army of millions. Meanwhile, his wife (Lena Headley, THE BROTHERS GRIMM) campaigns in Sparta for the city to send reinforcements as she butts heads with the treacherous Theron (Dominic West, THE WIRE). With its gore and scale, 300 marks director Snyder as a possible successor to Peter Jackson's throne. Jackson also got his start in horror with BAD TASTE and DEAD ALIVE, and the two men share a penchant for ambitious battle scenes. The huge fights in 300 rival Jackson's efforts in the LORD OF THE RINGS films. David Wenham, who starred in two of the Tolkien-based films, plays Dilios, one of the Spartan soldiers. Though the cast doesn't boast any A-list stars, the actors ably fill their larger-than-life roles. In a film filled with men, Headley stands out as Queen Gorgo. She matches her warrior husband in strength, while showing love toward Leonidas and their son. Though there are scenes that demonstrate the humanity of the characters, 300 is undeniably about bravery and blood, and it succeeds because of the stylish depictions of both.

Top Reviews  Blood and Guts Galore!!Review created: 08/03/07 by:  10 of 14 people found this review helpful. This nonstop action movie tracks a boy from birth to death within the rough and brutal Spartan society and ends up with the great Legendary fight to the death of the mighty 300. The spirit and courage (to the point of arrogant stupidity) was very admirable. I certainly enjoyed the movie but felt it a bit long for what the story had to offer. I would recommend it to all certainly if nothing else for the history lesson however inflated the legend and Hollywood has made this! Thanks for reading!

Report this review Reviews 300 BlurayReview created: 10/09/08(updated 10/09/08) by: I purchased this movie because I want to see how the fight scenes would look in Bluray. Very impressed with the picture and sound quality. The story line was very good. The bravery of the 300 Sparton warriors and how they fought as a group was impressive.

This movie is awesome! It tells a story of very few soldiers taking on multitudes. If you are into action adventure, or are just someone who apreciates good movies this is a must see. I have watched alot of "war" movies, and alot of action packed movies, well lets just say I have seen alot of movies period. But 300 is definately on my top 5 list. This movie has it all love romance, heads rolling and alot of graphic nearly barbaric seens. There are few that can surpass this movie I give it 10 stars Review ID: 10000000008696031 Was this review helpful?

Base story line is good history and any way you can transfer that knowledge is cool. Review ID: 10000000008687758 Was this review helpful? Report this review The art of warReview created: 09/05/08 by: browsezilla11 ( 7 ) 0 of 1 people found this review helpful. Very stylish and ethereal. Then they start stabbing. Not a med-student kind of stabbing, more like ballet, where you wouldn't mind getting killed that way. Review ID: 10000000008581297 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
