Product Description Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.
Amazon.com Like Sin City before it, 300 brings Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's graphic novel vividly to life. Gerard Butler (Beowulf and Grendel, The Phantom of the Opera) radiates pure power and charisma as Leonidas, the Grecian king who leads 300 of his fellow Spartans (including David Wenham of The Lord of the Rings, Michael Fassbender, and Andrew Pleavin) into a battle against the overwhelming force of Persian invaders. Their only hope is to neutralize the numerical advantage by confronting the Persians, led by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), at the narrow strait of Thermopylae. More engaging than Troy, the tepid and somewhat similar epic of ancient Greece, 300 is also comparable to Sin City in that the actors were shot on green screen, then added to digitally created backgrounds. The effort pays off in a strikingly stylized look and huge, sweeping battle scenes. However, it's not as to-the-letter faithful to Miller's source material as Sin City was. The plot is the same, and many of the book's images are represented just about perfectly. But some extra material has been added, including new villains (who would be considered "bosses" if this were a video game, and it often feels like one) and a political subplot involving new characters and a significantly expanded role for the Queen of Sparta (Lena Headey). While this subplot by director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead) and his fellow co-writers does break up the violence, most fans would probably dismiss it as filler if it didn't involve the sexy Headey. Other viewers, of course, will be turned off by the waves of spurting blood, flying body parts, and surging testosterone. (The six-pack abs are also relentless, and the movie has more and less nudity--more female, less male--than the graphic novel.) Still, as a representation of Miller's work and as an ancient-themed action flick with a modern edge, 300 delivers. --David Horiuchi

Awesome Looking Blu Ray dics February 9, 2010 David K. (TN) I've just started collecting BR's right after I bought my PS3 and I wish I had been purchasing them sooner. I also have the standard dvd of this movie and the difference between dvd and br is phenomenal. Love the trilogy. Blu Ray FTW!
300 blue ray dvd movie with Gerard Butler February 3, 2010 Josh C. Harris (Clayton, NC) This is a fantastic movie. loved the blue ray and gerard the butt-ler the best!He is an awesome actor and it showed in the great epic tail based on a true story about King Leonidis and his warriors! His buff body was enough for me to watch it, but hey, the guys will dig it too, lots of blood and some gore to go along with the story, but that is what makes it seem so real in every way! Great special effects and editing! Awesome movie, way worth the $20 to $30 price tag! This is a keeper, even our teenage son liked it alot as well as my hubby, who thought it was really great too! I do not however, recall seeing Heath Ledger or Christian Bale in it, I do not believe so, unless they were some boys in it with very small roles! I have seen it twice! Go Buy it!
Great Adventure... January 31, 2010 Lj Magic This is a great movie, for the most part. Some of the computer imagery did not move off the big-screen to the dvd very well. There are some very dark spots in the show, & alot of the blood-splashing takes away from an incredible story. Historically, this movie for the most part stays the line. There are a few misnomers, but I guess you can chalk that up to 'Director's discretion'. None the less, it was a fantastic show. Certainly not for younger audiences, and not a movie that you'd want to watch very often.
one of the best... January 29, 2010 brian L. Sullivan (daytona beach,fla.) this movie was so much better then i had expected...it kept me glued to my seat until the end,lots of action and a little humor at times but a great story and presented very well. i loved it
