 A Beautiful Three Disk Set. January 1, 2009
I picked this one up as I am a massive 300 fan, it promised a extra disk of a new feature about the making of the comic book to film. For half an hour, it's intresting to see how they made it into being a hit for America and here in England. The film is more or less the same running time here, the second disk has the same extras but it's the extra goods that makes it more than four stars. A beautful book-like where the disks are, a special message from Zack Synder, the director, coloured pages from the comic and the film. Then a extra box where there are five photos from the film and a very special 3d moving picture of Leonidas throwing the spear. It's worth your money if you love the movie a lot but it was a little expenive when I bought it. Beautiful and stunning, just like the movie.

Essentially the director of this film saw the battles from Lord Of The Rings and simply decided to make a 2 hr extended version. Very little plot, character building or decent acting but action and violence ad nauseum. Blu-Ray picture is superb and hi-def sound is stunning however. Worth a watch if you're an action-genre junkie just don't expect an engrossing storyline.

When I first left the cinema after seeing this with my mates, I remember feeling the same way as when I left the cinema from seeing Gladiator in 2000. Not because this film is as well-made as Gladiator, but because it has that same epic feel.
First of all, it's obviously ridiculous. It's not meant to be an accurate re-telling of the battle of Thermopylae, but a stylised one based on the images of Frank Miller. It works in that it looks fantastic, in a mythical way, as though this wasn't a real event but something out of one of the many fantasy films we see these days, albeit a lot more bloody.
Gerard Butler is clearly the star here, and his performance is a fantastic one. Not oscar-worthy, but he completely throws himself into the part and I for one would love to see him in more commanding, action-oriented roles as he's certainly got the presence and the build for it.
He's ably supported by Lena Headey, who's probably one of the stronger female characters in this kind of film. Their relationship is beautifully done, and for me the moment that elevates the film above a mindless but entertaining action blockbuster are the moments where the King bids farewell to his Queen. Very well done by the actors indeed.
Whether you like this film or not will depend upon what you want from the film: a historical education or pure entertainment on a number of levels. Treat it as 90% entertainment that happens to have 10% history and you'll have a great time.
On Blu-ray, it looks and sounds great. Not the best hi-def transfer out there, but it's definitely the best way to see this film. The extras are worth checking out, particularly for the cast interviews and the training sessions to show how those guys got in such great shape.
All in all, a solid film on a solid disc. You can't go too far wrong with this one for a good night in.
