What better R-rated cinematic fodder than the ancient Greek city-state of Sparta, a culture dedicated to the mastery of warfare and the maxim of “better to die than surrender”? The new period picture “300” examines the battle of Thermopylae, a famous last stand that...

Director: Zack Snyder (Dawn Of The Dead) Story: Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300" concerns the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians. What I Liked About it: * Visually, its one of the greatest...

Went to see 300 last night with Pop. It was good to spend some time with my old man - we don't do it often enough which is a cause of considerable guilt on my part. Dad and I share a similar interest in jingoistic epics like Gladiator et al, and I was tempted by some...

I just realized as I typed that title that you might be expecting now that this piece will be about who I would think would win in a fight, the 300 men of the Spartan army or Marky Mark Walhberg’s titular hero, Shooter. That isn’t what this is going to be at all...

Greek legend melds with the fantastical imagination of comic book writer Frank Miller as his epic novel comes ferociously to life in 300, a retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which 300 valiant Spartan’s fought to the death against a massive Persian...

Right now, the title 300 refers to the number of sword-slingin', codpiece-sportin' Spartans who fought a behemoth horde of Persian invaders in the famous fifth century B.C. Battle of Thermopylae. In another couple of months, though, it could be a reference to the Zack...

Dad and I went to see 300 at the Carousel Grande in Greensboro this afternoon. I've been wanting to catch this ever since it came out a few weeks ago. It's adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novel 300, which is about the Battle of Thermopylae that took place in 480...

I saw 300 on Wednesday night after a most hearty dinner at Ristorante Machiavelli. I had only watched the trailer a few weeks ago; that it was based on a Frank Miller novel piqued my interest. Before I proceed, I'd like to say that I like ancient history; stories...

If you are fascinated by ancient Greek history, mythology, legends, epics and culture, here’s a treat for you. 300 weaves all these together and presents it in the form of an epic movie on the Battle of Thermopylae, fought by 300 Spartan warriors against a million...

It has always been a dream of mine... to watch a movie.. first day first show... I am a nerd. A HUGE nerd. I am glad I did it for this movie. So Sathyam theatres... Friday morning. The movie... is everything I had expected and more. It is not everytime a viral...

3 stars Call it the first ancient Greek snuff film. It's impossible to glean even a faintly serious message about parallels between our situation today facing a menacing, soon-to-be nuclear Iran from 300, the story of the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.E., in which...

ASK an Iranian, and it's the politics of good versus evil that is all wrong. Ask an historian and they'll politely point out that the armies of Persia probably didn't include ninjas, giants and rampaging rhinos. Much of the debate about Zack Snyder's 300 has centred...

4 of 5 stars overall Plot: 4/5 Cast performance: 5/5 Sound Track: 5/5 Cinematography: 4/5 Pros: Good entertainment for war movie lovers, sinicists Cons: too much war oriented, blood shed so small kids better stay away Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller,...

A brief review of 2007 visual effects heavy film "300”, - the movie based on Graphic novel by Frank Miller and the story of most famous last Stand Yeah, I finally watched the movie and its time for a brief review as people including me was going ga..ga about this epic...

Yesterday I had a lot of caffeine ( Some 85% dark chocolate, Coke, lunch+coke, Tim tam iced coffee, chocolate, and more chocolate at the movies), but apart from that, I finally got to see the 300, which finally decided to get of its butt and come to Australia to be...
