Reviews

It is excessively, cheerfully violent -- and it is gorgeous to behold. It looks like the world's most sophisticated and expensive video game, and I mean that in a good way. - Richard Roeper (Chicago Sun-Times)


Visually stunning, thoroughly belligerent and as shallow as a pygmy’s paddling pool, this is a whole heap of style tinged with just a smidgen of substance. - Will Lawrence (Empire)

It might have been one of the great all-time mad, bad movies but for one thing – it’s just sooo boring. - Trevor Johnston (Timeout)

300 is about as violent as Apocalypto and twice as stupid. - A.O. Scott (New York Times)

A blustery, bombastic, visually arresting account of the Battle of Thermopylae as channeled through the rabid imagination of graphic novelist Frank Miller.- Todd McCarthy (Variety)
