Storyline
Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300" is very loosely based the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians; the battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians, and helped usher in the world's first democracy.

Not since Mario Bava's "Hercules in the Haunted World" has Greco-Roman movie-house mythmaking been so thoroughly well-conceived and executed.

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.

Look, but don't be touched: There is much to see but little to remember in this telling of a battle we are meant never to forget.

Rolling Stone
300 is a movie blood-drunk on its own artful excess. Guys of all ages and sexes won't be able to resist it.

Charlotte Observer
300 is a huge step forward in visually sophisticated storytelling.
