Like Sin City before it, 300 brings Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's graphic novel vividly to life. Gerard Butler (Beowulf and Grendel, The Phantom of the Opera) radiates pure power and charisma as Leonidas, the Grecian king who leads 300 of his fellow Spartans (including David Wenham of The Lord of the Rings, Michael Fassbender, and Andrew Pleavin) into a battle against the overwhelming force of Persian invaders. Their only hope is to neutralize the numerical advantage by confronting the Persians, led by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), at the narrow strait of Thermopylae. More engaging than Troy, the tepid and somewhat similar epic of ancient Greece, 300 is also comparable to Sin City in that the actors were shot on green screen, then added to digitally created backgrounds. The effort pays off in a strikingly stylized look and huge, sweeping battle scenes. However, it's not as to-the-letter faithful to Miller's source material as Sin City was. The plot is the same, and many of the book's images are represented just about perfectly. But some extra material has been added, including new villains (who would be considered "bosses" if this were a video game, and it often feels like one) and a political subplot involving new characters and a significantly expanded role for the Queen of Sparta (Lena Headey). While this subplot by director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead) and his fellow co-writers does break up the violence, most fans would probably dismiss it as filler if it didn't involve the sexy Headey. Other viewers, of course, will be turned off by the waves of spurting blood, flying body parts, and surging testosterone. (The six-pack abs are also relentless, and the movie has more and less nudity--more female, less male--than the graphic novel.) Still, as a representation of Miller's work and as an ancient-themed action flick with a modern edge, 300 delivers. --David Horiuchi

leader (Agra,India.)
I had watched this film twice in theaters.Then i bought the DVD and watched it again.hen i bought a PS3 and purchased the Bluray version---and i can say that it was Worth Every Penny...................Yeah its that good.
Movie--Exellent movie!!IMHo the best of 2007...Its got an amazing visual style and the special sequences are simply awesome..........
Bluray--I can easily say it is one of the best HD transfers available presently.There are tonnes of extra material which NEEDS to be watched if you are a fan of the movie...
The video quality is great --lots better than DVD--trust me....I have seen both.
Audio was also excellent.
5/5 without a second thought.If u buy Blurays this one deserves t be in your library.
 Disappointed July 17, 2008
Charles R. Palmer
This movie was not what I thought it would be even after reading the preview. It really did not fit my taste for what I consider a good movie.
great movie July 15, 2008

I really like this movive. Yes, a lot of the stuff is not strictly historically correct but it is still a good movie. It has great action and a good message.
It is good but .. July 14, 2008

I've seen a number of films with a lot more action than in here. When they did have it, unlike a lot of other films, the carnage didn't go on and on. It lasted a few minutes at most and broke for a lull. The only aspect I thought was sub-par was some of the dialog, which sounded juvenile in spots.
Great movie poor quality on Blu Ray July 14, 2008
Richard V. Nguyen (Anaheim, California United States)
There are two sides to this. However, I will begin with the story.
The movie is done well and the story telling is epic. The action is slow. Too slow.. Slow motion only has it's limits, but I guess they wanted to push the CG in this movie. The story of 300 vs a vast army. Very violent and mythical in it's story told. I would suggest watching this.
The two sides. I watched this on blu ray and was sorely disappointed. I guess they tried to make it old looking or something because there were black speckles all over it. In fact it made me sick, and dizzy to watch the quality all speckled. I expect super sharp quality. I have tested this with a different disk and different player. Same effect. Then I watched the DVD version at a buddies place. It looked great. In fact it looked perfectly fine. That's the only issue I had with the movie, was the format.
