Review: Frank Miller’s 300: “Prepare for glory!”

From its opening scene—a close-up of thousands upon thousands of what are later revealed to be the bones of countless infant males tossed from a precipice after being deemed unfit for the honor of a Spartan life—to its last, Zack Snyder’s (Dawn of the Dead [2004])...

“She Said” Movie Review: 300

4 stars/5 "300" provides a visual retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae, where Spartan King Leonidas (Gerard Butler, "The Phantom of the Opera") led a troop of 300 soldiers to encounter the hundreds of thousands strong Persian army. With the exception of Butler and...

Film Reviews:300 and Zodiac

The new release is a little film called "300." Maybe you've heard of it. When the Persian empire of 100 nations demands loyalty and submission from Greece- Sparta specifically, King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) petitions the council to send an army to stop the oncoming...

Spartan ‘300’ Over The Top Brilliant!

Frank Miller's unique and violent "Sin City" pushed the envelope of possibility in film, making it hard to imagine anything coming close to its beauty and innovation. Fittingly, the adaptation of another of Miller's graphic novels, "300," finally surpasses its gritty...

‘300’: NOT JUST A BATTLE FLICK

Though this is a battle epic few can match, there's a beauty and a noble nature to this film. It's the kind that comes from total commitment to a cause: here, the notion of a free and unyielding Sparta. That's delivered in this film through gleaming biceps, rippling...

‘300’ stuns with action and beauty

After seeing the adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel ''Sin City'' on the big screen in 2005, I was very excited about the announcement and arrival of ''300.'' I was not disappointed in the least. ''300'' is a film about the Spartan Battle of Thermopylae against...

Big Surprise: The Tarts Love 300

What a lot of people don't know is that there is a huge, female fanbase that was more excited about the release of 300 than even the geekiest of fanboys. Why is this so? Two words - Gerard Butler. One of the "Tartans" wrote in with a review that that most likely sums...

Movie Review: Beowulf & Grendel

Having recently seen 300, an infinitely superior film to this, it came to mind that this was probably used as Gerard Butler's audition. In Beowulf & Grendel he shows that he has a certain charisma in the hack-and-slash type of film, and can spout inspirational...

The New Snake Plissken

[b Hollywood has a new action star, and his name is Gerard Butler.[/b After the huge success of “300,” Butler appears to have become a viable star — which we already knew, didn’t we? Wasting no time, Variety reports that CAA has attached Butler to a remake they’re...

The Good, The Bad, The Abs of 300 (blog)

Good: - Hot damn, that was a beautifully art-directed movie! The crispness, detail, hyper-realism and cartoonish blood. - The expansion of the Queen's role. Great to contrast the battles, but also just to balance out the action as well. - The music. I thought it was a...

Beautiful death

"300" should be the Marines' new recruitment video. The few, the proud, the Chippendales with swords. The story may be true -- 300 Spartan Davids did fight hundreds of thousands of Persian Goliaths at the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. -- but the film is decidedly...

300 Delights with Cast, Fails with Script

Zach Snyder's 300, long awaited by Classics nerds (like myself), teenage boys, and gay porn stars alike, finally made its debut this weekend and it lived up to its pre-release hype, smashing the competition in true Spartan form. Adapted from Frank Miller's 1998...
