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.

All this bellowing and testosterone gets old fast -- especially since there's not much of a plot outside of the combat scenes, and the not-much-of-a-plot scenes are laden with dialogue worthy of Anakin and Padmé.

The look and feel of this historic battle is perfect for the virtual backgrounds and obscene violence. Again, trust me on the violence.

300 is an orgy of gore, a blood-letting on a titanic scale, a ballet of butchery in which half-naked men and the torrents of blood they elicit move in perfect, slow-motion choreography to a thunderous soundtrack. And I loved every minute of it.

I still wish David Wenham weren't the narrator, but everything else about the movie is a brutal kind of hypnotic that keeps me coming back.

It would now seem that the notebook drawings of troubled teenage boys have been elevated to the status of "high art". God save us all.

While far from sophisticated in its 'I have filled my heart with hate' messaging, it resonates with the 'us versus them' worldview that's wildly popular in some circles.

300 is poorly-executed, bare-bones storytelling that is hoping and praying no one notices. I did.

An overwrought, revved-up, and deeply silly symphony of clanging steel and spurting blood.

...relentless in its attempt to recreate the graphic novel's vision of the carnage at Thermopylae.

Estupendamente fotografiada, actuada en su justa dimensión y visualmente atractiva, 300 representa un buen ejercicio fílmico que no pasará a la historia pero que se puede disfrutar, preferentemente, en una pantalla de cine.

film koji %u0107e gledateljima omogu%u0107iti da se na trenutak odmore od ponekad uistinu iritiraju%u0107e "politi%u010Dke korektnosti"

its hackneyed dialogue and ridiculous bluster rank it a little lower than any of a handful of old gladiator movies made for a fraction of the price.
