I did."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 4.5/5 "Call it an attempt to jumpstart our imagination or a metaphoric map to rediscovering our inner joy, but 300 is built for spectacle, not scholarship."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 6/10 "Like a Hong Kong 'pistol opera' only without any pistols, or shirts. I guess it's more of a 'nipple opera'."   Freeze Dried Movies   Brian Juergens D+ "It's a fireworks show in the daytime, Christmas presents on December 26th, and porn without the penetration."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf D "Apart from its pro-war propaganda, that comes in the form of unrelenting voice-over narration, "300" is a dog of a movie where cookie-cutter CGI battle scenes show thirty actors pretending to fight to the death."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "The devotion to sameness means that a disappointing subplot involving Gorgo is set off awkwardly: she doesn't fit aesthetically the rest of the tableau."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 4/5 "'300' would have been a truly Olympian feat if it had characters that were as finely wrought as the images."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 1/5 "It helps nothing that the movie is also so very, very hilarious. Deliciously, gloriously, unintentionally hilarious."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius A "The first must-see movie of 2007."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 2/4 "As silly as it is stylish..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 8/10 "film koji %u0107e gledateljima omogu%u0107iti da se na trenutak odmore od ponekad uistinu iritiraju%u0107e "politi%u010Dke korektnosti""   Index.hr   Dragan Antulov 1.5/4 "A big-screen adaptation of Men's Health and Fitness magazine, 300 is about as involving as sitting in front of a video game demo at Best Buy."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman A "The film is little more than a colorfully stylish, throwaway epic, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with something that simply aims to be populist entertainment."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens 2/5 "Como adaptación de un cómic al cine, 300 es visualmente impactante. Pero una vez que uno se acostumbra queda sólo la historia, y allí no hay nada nuevo, original, ni sorprendente."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio A- "Marked by spectacularly excessive visuals, with warfare transformed into a beautiful ballet of blood."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "Every piercing, slashing and beheading is front and center forming the kind of orgiastic tango of bloodletting that would have Peckinpah offering Zack Snyder a cigar."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 3/4 "This is a flick for guys, so grab a few beers, pull up a chair and have a blast..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. "Asscrack-ugly"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce 3/4 "Artistically triumphant in its arresting visual spectacle. Undoubtedly, the hyperactive male psyche for violent-induced petulance is proudly on display in the extravagant 300"   TheWorldJournal.com   Frank Ochieng C- "Fanboys may embrace its wanton carnage, he-man heroics and bombastic dialogue, but 300 really belongs on a PlayStation rather than in a theatre."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "300 may not offer masterful storytelling in a conventional sense, but it's hard to beat as a spectacle and that makes it worthwhile viewing for all but the most squeamish of potential audience members."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Reduces the violence of battle to cartoonish proportions that make the film as a whole much less involving than it should be."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 0/4 "Whatever your reason for going into 300, I can't imagine leaving it very excited by what you get. I can imagine being excited by the prospect of leaving -- for me, the end credits of 300 rolled up on the screen with the comforting shock of a parole notice"   Cinematical   James Rocchi 10/10 "Click here to read review"   vj.net.ua   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 6/10 "un produit surchargé dont on se délecte niaisement pendant près de deux heures pour ensuite passer à autre chose"   Panorama   Jean-François Vandeuren 7/10 "I had two thoughts: (1) this looks really cool -- it's visually composed very well; and (2) it makes me think of a chain-combo from the video game God of War."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "...relentless in its attempt to recreate the graphic novel's vision of the carnage at Thermopylae."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "Estupendamente fotografiada, actuada en su justa dimensión y visualmente atractiva, 300 representa un buen ejercicio fílmico que no pasará a la historia pero que se puede disfrutar, preferentemente, en una pantalla de cine."   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 3.5/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 5/5 "I honestly don’t see how you can not like this movie. Go see this movie. You will not be disappointed."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4/5 "A good bargain, in that you get exactly what they promise, but only that. But if that's what you want, man, you won't be disappointed."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4.0 "How much cooler is a storyteller's epic tale when you can watch all the embellishments? After viewing 300, your answer may be 'infinitely.'"   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4/5 "It's got loads of action, stunning visuals and more testosterone than fraternity row. It's a spectacle to behold."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B+ "If forgiven some fan-boy pandering and homophobia, "300" is a magnificent spectacle and testament to heroic sacrifice in the name of freedom."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "It may not be by-the-book history -- a relative term in any event, when discussing the ancients whose worldview embraced men, gods and monsters -- but what a spectacle!"   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "An assured visual stunner, full of sumptuous and grisly visions of an era past yet that still never existed."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 6/10 "What we have is a vulgar and over- dramatic retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae. But as vulgar and over-dramatic retellings of history go, this one is not bad."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "This is one of those ur-stories that actually feels like a slice of ancient wonder and grandeur..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/5 "Every complaint that's ever been made about comic books or comic book adaptations is accurate when applied to 300."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "Every few years, a film comes along that epitomizes what it means to be cool. The Matrix earned that honor in 1999. 300 earns it now."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "The heavily stylized compositions, balletic, blood-gushing violence, and wave after wave of different styles of marauders at times feel more like a video game than a movie."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "It's like Fight Club without the tongue-in-cheek satire, cribbing from Gladiator, Braveheart, and every videogame that ever concluded a level with a giant boss battle."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "Moralmente repreensível e narrativamente frágil. Ainda assim, é um filme contagiante cuja beleza plástica chega quase a compensar por todos os seus demais problemas."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "I feel comfortable enough in my masculinity to say that if I had to stand in the presence of these men for more than ten seconds, I'd spontaneously grow a pair of ovaries."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "Zack Snyder invests loads of visual style into this adaptation of Frank Miller's now-classic graphic novel ... but there's not much going on underneath the gorgeous surface."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2/5 "An overwrought, revved-up, and deeply silly symphony of clanging steel and spurting blood."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves "It would now seem that the notebook drawings of troubled teenage boys have been elevated to the status of "high art". God save us all."   Stranger Song   Rob Humanick A- "Its themes and visual splendor demonstrably trump the sometimes-ludicrous bombast accompanying them."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "Essentially a stylish comic book-style remake of a 1962 movie, The 300 Spartans."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "CGI fans are going to love 300, as will the fanboys who get a goodly dose of the gratuitous sex, nudity and ultra-violent combat that they hope for."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford  (1 - 50) of 60 OFCS Rating: 62% Fresh Page   12   > Next
