when I walked in to the movie theater to see 300, i did not know what to expect. from the previews i had seen it looked like just another stupid, poorly made movie. but when i watched the movie in the theater I was blown away! although i enjoy movies that are more factual than not, i truly loved this movie. it kept me on the edge of my seat, and although the cast was a bunch of unknowns, they did a great job. that is why i strongly recommend this film to anyone who doesn't mind seeing some guy's head get choped off.
What's great about it: action throughout, awesome special effects

This is possible the greatest historical fiction/nonfiction/retelling ever! The battle of Thermopylae is regarded as the greatest battle in history even if it ended in the failure of the Spartans. The Spartans were also regarded as the greatest soldiers the world has ever known even though they lost. The movie is incredibly beautiful and its story telling is mind blowing. Leonidas's 300 warriors and 2800 from other parts for Greece held off the "1000 armies of the Persian Empire!!" which totaled over 2 million men strong. The movie was full of coin-able phrases that we have all probably heard a million times by now. It also had many slow motion sequences and special effects at every turn. Overall the movie is a culmination of all that is awesome in Hollywood and History.
What's great about it: Entertaining and almost historically correct movie about the greatest battle in history
What's not so great: The Spartans lost and they didn't actually kill Xerxes

This is one of the best movies to be enjoyed with a fantasic digital surround sound system. Aside from the visually stunning graphics and special effects, the sound (best heard VERY loud) makes me glad I spent so much money on my system. If you have a high quality system, buy this movie and sit back to enjoy a real theatre experience.

This was an excellent movie. The movie starts with storytelling to set the scene. Leonidas, his 300 soldiers, and his wife depicted strength at its finest. I loved the Spartan bravery and courage portrayed in this movie. It displays winnig against all odds. This was a break from the run of the mill comedies and action movies that have been in theaters. The graphics are outstanding! You can't help but to cheer for the victory of the 300 Spartans that fight Xerxes' army. I highly recommend everyone to see this movie. My brother, father, boyfriend, and best friend all watched this movie and loved it.

I would not use 300 as a representative historical documentary (rather far from it), but it stays loyal to its roots--the comic book series it was based upon. Its action sequences are amazing. Blood falls and victims are slain as if part of a dance. This is a great addition to any movie collection.

I saw great pictures and hear great sounds. But what else? It is supposed to be a historic movie but all I saw is a extremely distorted history. Besides, the picture is really bloody and it is not a proper movie for family.
What's great about it: cosmetic style pic quality, great sound quality
What's not so great: Not a historic movie as it boasts to be

First of this movie was great in the theatres. The expierence is even better on Blu-Ray. With the movie being more crisp and clear it makes the battle scenes that much better! This is definatly a must have for you collection!
