Critics Consensus
A simple-minded but visually exciting experience, full of blood, violence, and ready-made movie quotes.
Andrew Osmond Sight & Sound 07/06/2010 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.

Ghosty 06/26/2021 Very cool story, artistry, and action. Very violent. Excellent comic book style movie, based on a Frank Miller graphic novel, similar style to Sin City. See more Rick J @Rick_James_Bitch 10h Just good old fashioned fun. Toxic masculinity to the extreme that every guy walks away a little gay. See more Pawel F @RT52186197 1d A film made by a computer.

Im a true story fanatic and this one ranks top 3! Great movie!!! The battle scenes and the banter are really engrossing. Although some parts are embellished, there are probably true parts not seen that were better. It's worth your time antday to sit and watch! See more Read all reviews
