Um filme realmente muito bom! Apesar do começo necessitar de um pouco mais de atenção para entender complemente a história se você não conhecer sobre a guerra retratada, o filme decorre com o tanto de tragédia, carnificina e drama necessário para te envolver e se emocionar com os personagens apresentados. Um filme que merece mais reconhecimento

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

São nesses filmes de guerra que temos a mais absoluta certeza que nesse tipo de evento só morrem pessoas inocentes, de ambos os lados, e os únicos culpados são os governantes, os bandidos de colarinho branco, atrás de suas mesas confortavelmente no ar condicionado, enquanto milhares de jovens, homens e mulheres se autodestrói impiedosamente, triste, trágico, um filme lindo e longo, excelente produção, ótima ambientação e linda fotografia...

The Eight Hundred bites off more that it can chew but it consistently serves up gripping filmmaking on the biggest canvas.

"The Eight Hundred" fetishizes martyrdom, but for those seeking big-screen, epic violence, it's pretty much the only game in town.

Guan goes hammer and tongs with the special effects, delivering stupendously, joint-rattlingly-loud battle scenes and combat sequences edited to the lightning pace of a superhero movie.

Rated: 3/5

The Eight Hundred may be too arduous for those simply wanting some mindless Big Screen spectacle. But if this break from superheroes and star ships has you yearning to try something new, this ambitious recreation of history is worth your time.

Rated: 3/5

JumpCut Online

The Eight Hundred is a war film that set out to tell its story by not shying away from the brutality of it all. On that level, The Eight Hundred is an absolute success.

Rated: 4/5

Flag-waving propaganda it may be, but The Eight Hundred makes for stirring, satisfying entertainment.
