The epic graphic novel by Frank Miller (Sin City) assaults the screen with the blood, thunder and awe of its ferocious visual style faithfully recreated in an intense blend of live-action and CGI animation. Retelling the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, it depicts the titanic clash in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his massive Persian army.

(Cute Chihuahua, 2009-10-13) Summary: In 480 BC, the Persian king sends his massive army to conquer Greece. The Greek city of Sparta houses its finest warriors, the King of Greece and 300 of his soldiers meet the Persians at Thermopylae, engaging the soldiers in a narrow canyon where they cannot take full advantage of their numbers. The battle is a suicide mission, meant to buy time for the rest of the Greek forces to prepare for the invasion. However, that doesn't stop the Spartans from throwing their hearts into the fray, determined to take as many Persians as possible with them. This movie is one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen. The story of 300 Greek soldiers battling the huge Persian army reminds me of Braveheart, which is my favorite movie of all time. I thought I would like this movie for sure but it was quick to disappointment me. The entire movie is so incredibly unbelievable. These 300 Greek soldiers must have defeated several thousand Persian soldiers before any of them were killed. The Persian Army also had huge Rhino's and Elephant's that must have been taking steroids because they were pretty fake looking too. And then some of the people that they had to battle were just ridiculous like this guy that has huge blades instead of hands. And another giant guy who gets stabbed in his eye with a knife and just keeps fighting. There was another hunchback guy that looked quite strange as well. Maybe I am in the minority but I thought this movie was a joke and I find it hard to believe that anyone could actually like this movie.

(Jonathan Cortez, 2009-10-10) Really, what is in this movie? What is so awesome about it? That makes it so manly, so brave, so heroic, so epic? Well first off, The protagonists are well-trained warriors who spend a good deal of the movie slaughtering pathetic cannon fodder. Then the Persians break out their amazing elite Immortals, who remind me of the monkeys from The Wizard of Oz. How is making the antagonists completely incompetent glorify the protagonists? How is it cool to watch? If you got got a huge spear and shield and starting stabbing people armed only with letter openers and sticks would you then be awesome? Also, apparently giving King Leonidas a back massage makes Xerxes super evil and a wonderful villain. Then there's the most astounding display of courage yet: pushing an unarmed messenger into a pit for absolutely no reason! Next, the characters. King Leonidas has a spear, a shield, muscles, and a penis. But the actor forgot that he actually had to act to make a convincing hero. And his face on the box cover is just so intimidating and heroic. All the other Spartans are flat. They kill people and get killed, but since there's no connection to them, I can't sympathize with their cause. The action is actually decent, but then we have the incredibly important political sub-plot. Everyone really wants to take a break from the battle to know what is happening back in Sparta. The sex scene was also absolutely essential to the plot. Why are random people so ugly in this movie? Why is there a random crab arm guy? Why is the screen always have an unnatural red tint? This movie makes no sense. I was happy when the Spartans finally died. For people that enjoy the action, I can understand that, but the people that think it's epic and a great story with excellent plot, what is wrong? Since when is this garbage an excellent movie?

(James Blevins, 2009-10-06) Everything was exactly as I hoped it would be! So pleased with this purchase!

(George T. Overly III, 2009-10-05) This turned out to be a great copy. It has both what the former blu-ray and HD-DVd copies had. Looks so good on a high def tv. Would recomend to anyone to get this blu-ray.

(Petri, 2009-09-26) I was watching the blu-ray version of the movie with my 13-year-old son, and we were bored to death. The movie is ridiculous (we actually laughed many times at how bad it was) and the special effects are the worst I've seen in years. Needless to say, we didn't watch it until the end. Don't waste your money on this. I'd give this zero stars if I could.
