If 300 represents an evolution in 'virtual' cinema, then at the same time it tells a story that transports us back to the violent roots of western civilisation. Go to Full Review

300 has one-dimensional caricatures who talk like professional wrestlers plugging their next feud. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Nearly two decades on, Zack Snyder's deeply silly historical epic/geek fever dream is easy to mock, but it's now deeply embedded in our popular culture and filmmaking aesthetic. Go to Full Review
Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle 07/03/2024
Zack Snyder’s incredibly stylized telling of the Battle of Thermopylae gives nearly any other film on this side of the century marker an insurmountable standard to claim the title as the most mythological storytelling display in 21st-century cinema. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 03/08/2024
1.5/5
300 claims some impressive visuals, but the narrow-mindedness of the plot and the childishness of the writing made this film hugely disappointing. Go to Full Review

See more Brendan K @Bkeller25 Oct 27 300 is one of the best action movies ever made and a true icon of the 2000s. Highly stylized, epic cinematography, grand stakes, surprising depth- it has everything you'd want. Every scene keeps you totally engaged. I highly reccomend this film if you don't mind a lot of blood and violence. See more Read all reviews
