Amazing! Aug 19, 2010
This telling is unlike any film I'd seen before.
As an artist, I thought it spectacular. As a woman, well... 8-D
It looks like turning the pages of a comic book (aka: graphic novel) in a good way. Though it's bloody, the color of it is nearly black, giving it an artistic edge.
The stop-action photography is amazing, the choreogaphed battle moves are amazing, and Gerard Butler is AMAZING - his best, in my opinion.
Greek mythology has been an interest of mine since grade school, and while I saw the 1960's film which is very good, this version is modern, fresh and very entertaining. I highly recommend it.

300 (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD) Jul 27, 2010
Directed by: Zack Snyder
Starring: Gerald Butler
Running time: 117 min. R - 2007

In 2007 I saw the film "300" at the theater and it quickly became one of my all time favorites and now watching it in HD only solidifies my opinion of the film. It is great. The movie is based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller and was filmed to match closely with the comic book. Gerald Bulter plays the character of King Leonidas, who leads 300 Spartans into battle against a Persian army of millions and the "God-King" Xerxes. The film is very graphic, but done in way that doesn't detract from the story. This is very much a guy flick, but is worth a watch for almost anyone.

Own it!

Is this really blu ray?If you don't like exaggerated grain, don't buy this movie! Jul 26, 2010
I don't care if it was the director intention, but then grain in this movie is awful, the movie looks like it's dirty, there is so much freaking grain I had to stop watching the movie because it was too distracting for me.When I think of blu ray, I think of a crystal clear image, not a dirty one, and I know every movie has its own art, but when this art its so annoying that a lot of people don't like it, there is something wrong with this art, and is not that I hate grain, I like it in movies that have it in a subtle amount, but not like in this movie that is way too exaggerated. As far as the movie, the story is great, the style and the colors are great, the effects are great, the only thing I don't like is the exaggerated grain.

"THIS IS SPARTA???" Jul 07, 2010
GRADE: C+

A popcorn film is a summer action film, not monumental, that is a good waste of time, I repeat, a GOOD waste of time. "300" had elements of intrigue, amazement, beautiful cinematography, and despicable death scenes to boot. This version of the historical story of the 300 Spartans from Sparta is the most modern up to date film loaded with CGI (computer generated imagery) special effects. It contains buffed out men who fight for their country willing to die even when immensely outnumbered. The film that inspired a crew to make this film was in 1962 titled "The 300 Spartans." "300" is a typical film made for the MTV generation, fans of graphic novels, and the vast amount of video game fanatics that enjoy cinematic violence.

"300" was made by Warner Brothers Pictures in association with Legendary Pictures and Virtual Studios. The MPAA kindly gave this movie an R rating for graphic battle sequences, some sexuality, and nudity. It is based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley. He also wrote the famous "Sin City," and put his own spin on the historical story of "300" that is loaded with a lot more violence and appeal for the generation from nowadays. Frank Miller got the drive to pursue this story from many viewings of the 1962 film "The 300 Spartans." The music for "300" was beautifully orchestrated and perceived by Tyler Bates, who is fairly new but is on his way to bigger and better films. He has the drive and potential to be up with other big names on a high award level. The film's screenplay, which didn't take much work having a detailed graphic novel to base off of, was written by Zack Snyder, Kurt Johnstad, and Michael B. Gordon. The film had an incredibly huge cast some may not know by name but each actor gave his all with the parts they were so generously given. The cast includes; Gerard Butler (from the new "Phantom of The Opera" ), Lena Headey (from "Gossip"), David Wenham (as Faramir in "The Lord of the Rings" films), and Dominic West (from the new "A Midsummer Night's Dream"). And, last but not least, the film was directed by newly found sensation Zack Snyder who directed a well received remake of "The Dawn Of the Dead".

"300" takes place in 480 BC, when the Persian king Xerxes sends his enormous army to defeat Greece. The Greek city of Sparta raises supreme warriors, and 300 of them are chosen to fight for Sparta to overthrow the Persians at Thermopylae. They go to war knowingly they will be outnumbered, but are willing to die to keep Sparta amongst the Greek. The battle is basically a suicide mission, meant to give time to the rest of the Greek forces to prepare for the insurmountable invasion. This doesn't phase the Spartans from giving the war their all, heavily determined to take as many Persians down with them as possible.

"300" isn't a film that is likely to be noticed for awards other than maybe an MTV Movie Award or any caliber award for its use of special effects used to perfection. It was nominated in roughly 5 categories in the MTV Movie Awards and won for Best Fight for Gerard Butler's King Leonidas battle with an Immortal creature. I felt, at times, mesmerized and in the moment with Tyler Bates' use of music but believe this is not his best work. I sense his masterpiece in music is yet to come. This film is nothing more than a good time away from life and nothing more. The only other element this picture had, other than its great use of blue screen and green screen, was its gorgeous locations and cinematography. I believe that even the cinematographer and/or director went a bit overboard with themselves in creating a huge wall that is made up of dead bodies. It is award worthy for its amazing special effects but I can't get myself to say anything worthy of this movie more than that.

"300" was loaded with extensive trivia and interesting facts in making this movie. First, this film, made visibly on a great scale, was shot in just 60 days. Next, Frank Miller wanted the male's of the film to have the same look as in his graphic novel, so he demanded them to spend the majority of their screen time bare-chested. In order to efficiently present themselves as a well-trained fighting force of the time, the entire principal cast endured a rigorous training schedule for 6 weeks before shooting were to begin. Also, in the well shot and planned scene of the Oracle and its elegant flowing effect was oddly accomplished by filming the actress underwater. Lastly, with Zack Snyder being mostly in charge of this film he took it upon himself to cast his own flesh and blood son to play Young Leonidas as a child. In closing, I'd suggest this film to those that consider themselves a part of the MTV generation or are just fans of special effects used to create a very video game like blood splatter effect. It is all of the above, gratuitous violence, decapitations, lost limbs, and just all out brutality in its finest; if you're a fan of that.
