It is very rare when a movie lives up to the lofty expectations that the trailer has set. The trailer for 300 set my expectations incredibly high, but the film did not disappoint. Part of me thinks this review is pointless. If you saw the trailer, you want to see it....

Four stars When I think of recent epic movies, the first one that pops into my head is "300." While I was sitting in the theater, the only word that came out of my mouth was, "Wow!" Now when I say "wow," I mean "WOW!" This film seemed to have no limits on its budget....

Two reviews for the price of one. Both excellent although wildly different. The message of both, though, is that there is meaning and purpose that transcends mortal existence. 300 Directed by Zack Snyder While we live in a time that seems to scream of narcissism, and...

The film “300” seems completely out of step with our distinguished, modern tastes. It’s a Heston-esque sword-and-sandals epic with all of the emotional subtlety of a John Wayne movie. There are good guys and bad guys, and fighting is always the answer. There is no...

Rating: 4 out of 5 Movie Experience: DT Cinemas Remember J.P Dutta’s Border, the movie based on the Battle of Longewala where a battalion of 120 soldiers held back a 3000 troop strong Pakistani force. The stiff resistance of those 120 troops delayed the pakistani...

It's simply beautiful to see comic art come to life in cinema. At least for me. I'd never had thought I'd ever see a movie that could take Frank Miller's use of negatives in his comic form and bring it to a movie without looking distasteful. But Rodriguez did that...

Frank Miller’s 300 the movie is really a graphic novel in the form of a movie. It is visually stunning and the fight scenes are incredible and somewhat true to historical descriptions of how the phalanx fought. This goes to show that even whities can make a fight...

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...

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])...

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...

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...
