Pros: It only lasts 117 minutes Cons: Not much truth
300 (2006) As a history buff I had to finally see 300 and once I did I had mixed feelings. The movie was quite well made visually, and about 90% of it was computer generated. The story, acting, and music was very questionable ...
Pros: Story, acting, artistic vision of the director Cons: Will be too violent for many viewers
I'm not a reader of graphic novels but I have enjoyed both the films based on Frank Miller's work including "Sin City" and this film. Since I had not read the source material for this film, I really didn't know what to expect other than from the ...
Pros: Dramatic, great characters, wonderful acting, edge-of-the-seat, wonderful effects, etc. Cons: None.

Pros: good back-drops visually Cons: weak supporting cast, got really boring, should have been more exciting, "eh" story
Bringing graphic novels to the big screen got a lot easier with several innovations in the use of blue-screen technology. The film 300 does its best to take full advantage of that, presenting its actors in front of digitally altered and imaged ...
Pros: No one denies its visual appeal; a real feast for the eyes Cons: Very little substance, stilted dialogue, homophobic overtones, overacted in parts
O, how I love a sword-and-sandals epic. I love it even more when the actors look like the casting call for a Bally’s commercial. Director Zack Snyder may have just created the ultimate anti-chickflick (dickflick?). Feast your eyes on ...
Pros: Amazing visuals, does honor to an epic historical legend. Cons: Takes liberties with an epic historical legend.
“Graphic novelist” (aka comics artist) and writer Frank Miller seems to be on a roll. As far as translating works from story art to big screen is concerned, Miller is very likely the premiere writer/artist in his field. You may or may not know ...
Pros: Lots of action, cool visuals Cons: Too much slow-motion
300 is a new movie based on Frank Miller’s comic books of the same name. The comic was inspired by the real-life Battle of Thermopylae, which took place in 480 BC and is considered one of the most famous ‘last stands’ in history. The story is ...
"You want the truth? You want the truth? You can't handle the truth. Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men .... You weep for [the weak] and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the ...
Pros: Visual effects; music; acting; action; story Cons: It's a whole lot of violence and testosterone in one sitting
In my experience, truly enjoyable movies are either about very deep, complicated things, but simple in execution, or about very simple ideas and stunning in visual feats, sound, and all the extras. 300 falls into the latter group. ...
Pros: Amazing graphics and cinematography; fantastic characters; artful. Cons: Perhaps a little overdramatized, but still fitting with the graphic novel theme.
I just woke up after about 6 hours of sleep and all I can say is wow! Last night I saw the midnight premiere of 300 and I can still see the fantastic scenes from this amazing movie in my head after dreaming about them all night. I had seen all the ...
Pros: Oooh...looks pretty! Cons: Plot development stops too soon, redundant beyond belief, entire battles fought in slow motion.
I’m generally not that picky about my action-packed loosely historical epics. In fact, I even loved Troy, which was widely panned by critics and movie-goers. 300 had nearly all the makings of a film I should have loved. Action and ...
Sometimes, the trouble is worth it. I mean, I waited for weeks to get my hands on Stephen King’s Lisey’s Story , almost cussing out a librarian in the process. My wait was more than worth it as it turned out ...
Pros: Good acting from the leads, cinematography and fight scenes. Intense Cons: Not many real characters, takes some historical liberty, overwrought at times
I learned something from the film 300 that the producers probably didn't intend. Evidently, the Spartans were actually Scottish. I say that only because the memorable ones in the movie spoke with a Scottish accent. I kid, of course, but I only ...
Pros: The Special effects, cast, acting, directing, score, CG & Camera work are awesome! Cons: A bit bloody for the squeamish.
[Exchange of words after the Spartans rout the Persians in initial battle] Xerxes: Yours is a fascinating tribe... defiant even in the face of annihilation. There is much our cultures could share. King Leonidas: Perhaps you haven't noticed, ...
Pros: Seriously excellent CGI special effects; suburb acting Cons: None as far as I'm concerned
I am a student of history and so I was more than intrigued by the movie 300 (2006) the graphic novel retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae in Greece written by Fran Miller. The year was 480 B.C., and a force of 300 Spartans from the now ...
