  Snyder’s take on the film is a fantasy, the way the battle would have looked in the minds of the Greeks, as they tell the story of the 300’s sacrifice. By Josh Tyler.

• CNN.com: Review '300' Far From Perfect

  http://edition.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Movies/03/09/review.300/
  It's not so much the body count or even the blood lust that's disturbing. It's that the film, with its macho militarism, seems out of step in a war-weary time. By Tom Charity.

  As soon as the film begins you can see the superb style, the colours, the effects of the skies, everything makes it look like a stylised comic, and it looks glorious. Review by Richard Brunton.

• FlickFilosopher.com: 300

  http://www.flickfilosopher.com/2007/03/300-review.html
  Director Zack Snyder takes a far, far older tale and reconnects us to it in a way that reminds us of the power of myth and should, if approached with a wary, knowing eye, remind us how that power has always been used to serve other, less entertaining purposes as well. By MaryAnn Johanson.

  http://www.indielondon.co.uk/Film-Review/300-review

  http://www.reelviews.net/reelviews/300
  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. By James Berardinelli.

• Shadows on the Wall: 300

  http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/three-hundred

  If 300, the new battle epic based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, had been made in Germany in the mid-1930s, it would be studied today alongside The Eternal Jew as a textbook example of how race-baiting fantasy and nationalist myth can serve as an incitement to total war. By Dana Stevens.
