Great! Visually Stunning! Well acted considering the source material. Please don`t take this film as historical fact. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Oh and it`s rated R for a reason!
it can only be described as ................AWESOME!!!!!!!!........ive already seen it twice, and will see it again soon, its awesome, dont listen to those morons who say its sucks cause its not historical, it was never meant to be, ITS BASED ON A COMIC BOOK MORONS, maybe if they spent less time trying to prove how smart they are they would have read in the previews that its based on a comic book and was not meant to be historically accurate.......its and awesome movie and we havent seen one like this since gladiator, absolutely awesome
There seems to be two schools of reviews, those who loved it, and those who were dragged to it. I went to an action movie, and found a well acted, well told timeless story illustrating political bureaucracy and prejudice toward woman. Certainly not secondary to the visual landscape of the movie, was all the buff bodies.
I loved this movie!!Action is intense and visualy amazing...I must say for those of you who did not like this movie..i`m going to guess you were expecting 100% acurate detail to history..Nothing is ever 100%..Trust me..if your not a tight A$$ about history being depicted accuratly...GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!
A FEEL GOOD MOVIE YEEEEAAAHHHH, POETIC JUSTICE BROUGHT BY THE SPARTANS
PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ISN`T HISTORIC BUT A MYTHOLOGICAL STORY. A MYTH, IS ACTUALLY A STORY. THIS WAS NEVER TRUE HISTORY. SO IT DIDN`T FOLLOW THE ORIGINAL FICTIOUS STORY EXACTLY. WHO CARES? BY THE WAY. THERE ARE REALLY NO SUCH THINGS AS HOBBITS OR FAIRY GOD MOTHERS. GO SEE THE MOVIE AND ENJOY.
Think of 300 like GLADIATOR and TROY on a much more fast-paced and intense version - and what you have is a beautifully filmed, humourous and very entertaining movie. Hands down, one of the best movies ever made - everything about it was SO well done... great movie.
Absolutely incredible. Far from historically correct, it`s a movie based on a comic that`s based on history. But that didn`t bother me one bit. This movie was simply amazing. The action sequences are some of the most beautiful and smooth that I have ever seen. No shaky, wandering camera with bits of arms and swords seen here and there. This is one of my new favourite movies of all time.
EH... it was allright, not the best movie of the year, visually though, it`s a masterpiece in it`s own way. Worth the price of admission.
It was garbage ....... very stupid and ridiculous !!!!!! I left before it was over ....
hooray holy-wood has created yet another perversion of history! "The action was great and visual effects were mindblowing" Is our society so attention deficit that even historical movies require us to leave our brains at the door? I`m not saying it had to be 100% accurate, but then again what else could you expect from a director who is best known for directing commercials and "dawn of the dead"- the remake? 300 thumbs down!!!
The first time is saw 300 it was in the IMAX theatre. It was absolutely breathtaking. When I left the theatre I couldn`t stop thinking about the movie and had to see it again the next day. I must say, if you`re seeing it for the first time, spend the extra $2 to see it in IMAX. Best movie I`ve seen in years.
GREAT STORY , GREAT ACTION, SIMPLY A VISUAL MASTERPIECE !
Amazing!
really great movie! a definite movie that needs to be watched in the theatre! who cares if it doesnt follow the true history , it has to be taken as a movie and not a documentary!
300 was a visual masterpiece. The story, character portrayal and overall feel of the movie was spectacular. I think the actress that played Gorgo (the Queen) was wonderful. She was beautiful, elequent and strong all at the same time. Although there was a lot of blood, it wasn`t overbearing and therefore didn`t wasn`t the main focus of the film. Great movie overall!
AMAZING MOVIE!! I would def. watch it again!
it was the best movie of the year
Goog Graphics, Inaccurate content,Extreme exaggeration, Abusive to nations, humiliating to persian empire which has been the symbol of the first democracy and culture in the world. Read a bit More for god sake.
great movies for those who don`t like it remember is just a movies not history and the writing. great story line fantastic action
Love the movie wish the beginng would have been longer.Saw it in IMAX did not enjoy it, it was too over powering you could not enjoy the full sences of the movie,although Mr Butler I could take in any size!He was Great!!!
absolutely amazing...the battle scenes were incredible
Hated it. Boring and racist.
MOVIE WAS FANTASTIC! Great acting/dialogue/fight scenes/etc. A must see. All about honour and standing up for what you believe in. Go watch it in IMAX, it`s even better!
i thought the movie was stellar, i commit that it is probably one of the best in recent memory... one thing i cant stand however is people who initially believed this movie to be historically accurate. ITS BASED ON A COMIC BOOK!!! its entertainment pure and simple, its not a history lesson... if you want that, go to college.
Incredible!!!! I had leg cramps after, it was sooo tense!!!
amazing
Boring, the story line is extremely thin. It is like a stage play in a movie form – a fake movie. The movie was about 2 hours long only because every scene is in slow motion. I couldn’t wait for it to end.
Excellent Movie.
It was fun to watch, and the art direction was A+... but come on people "Best movie of the year???" It`s only March - that`s not a justifiable comment.
It was the best movie I`ve seen in years. By the way, it`s only a movie people. It`s not like the directors claimed it was historically accurate. If they did, then make a fuss about it otherwise enjoy what was 300. Amazing from beginning to end!
This is for you morons who failed to realize that this is an R-rated movie. The violence and nudity are usually part of these movies people! That`s why they rate it BEFORE you go see it. As for the comments about it being racist and prejudiced, GET A LIFE! If u want to avoid these things, pls find a comfortable hole in the ground to live in. 300 is based on one man`s adaptation and does not make it law. If the movie offended you, learn from your mistakes and research the movies you want to see beforehand so we wouldn`t have to hear you moan and complain about it here. Fantastic movie. A must see for everyone who`s not sensitive.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOVIE EVER!!!! GLORIOUS AND ARTISTICALLY THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN, KICKS THE VISUALS IN LORD OF THE RINGS ANYDAY
SICK movie! Utmost Fav. - crazy battle scenes! <3 it!!
As one of the first to see 300 at it`s debut on Friday, I was more than a little impressed. Truth be told I was downright applauding by the end of the movie. I have never seen a movie before this one that had just the right amount of everything: love (not the sappy kind), blood and violence and a storyline that is not only historically accurate but also attention-grabbing. It`s right up there with "Gladiator" in my book. In a word, 300 was SPECTACULAR. `Nuff said.
Great movie! Finally a movie, that I felt was my moneys worth... I`m still bitter about ghost rider >:(
Fantastic movie. Visually impressive. Great story. You won`t be dissapointed. It`s meant for entertainment not a history lesson, so for those who are crying about its historical inaccuracy... go watch the history channel.
I should`ve walked out after the ultimate one liner: Madness? THIS IS SPARTA! The trailer summed up all you need to see.
great movie.. which was true to the book and the views of Spartans at the time.. was not to be taken as historical fact but was based on a comic book style novel.. and should be taken for what it is..
horrible movie! not to mention historically inaccurate, so inaccurate it`s shameful! There are records of how the Persian dressed bcak then, Xerxes looks like an alien coming out of a piercing factory! which was not customary back them among Persians. and he dis not belive he was god! they were Zoroastrians, beleived in one god. it`s even more one-sided than the Greeks` account of it!
CRAZY MOVIE BEST EVERRRRRRRRRR
this was an awesome Triumph of a film 5 out of 5 period
5 out of 5!!!!!!!! spectacular
One word...Amazing!
Fantastic Movie SinCity Meets Lord of the rings meets Troy.A stellar preformance from all actors.This movie will have you glued to your seat i dont care how large your soda is.
Its Sin City Meets Lord Of the Rings Meets Troy all rolled up into one.A stellar preformance from the entire cast kept me from going to the bathroom and i had a large soda,belive me it was worth it.Now if we could just find a way to keep people from talking during movies or using their cell phones its rude .
One of the Greatest Films of ALLL time!!!
I love this movie....i saw it yesterday and it was worth every single penny....GO SEE IT.....
Bad movie!!! enough said, cause it doesn`t worth it.
the movie to me was amazing....it`s definitely one of my favorite movies...definitely buying it when it comes out on dvd
