Movie Reviews of 300 [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Visually amazing story telling at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is nothing less than spectacular. The lore and story behind the battle of Thermopolae is already amazing enough... But the movie makers really capture and accentuate everything visually. On Blu-Ray, this movie is really a treat for the eyes
You first have to realize this movie is being told to the viewer by one of the 300 soldiers. It's his take on a historic event. Of course not everything that happened in the movie happened in real life. But you have to realize this is a tale people have been telling for centuries and centuries. There are obvious embellishments (which are obvious to the viewer, such as the elephants, the rhino, etc) but I think these are true to what a storyteller in that period would tell his audience to captivate them.
The audio commentary is great, the extras are great, and the movie itself is wonderful. Whether this movie is on Blu-Ray or HD DVD, I would highly recommend it.
Movie Review: No problems
Summary: 5 Stars
If you haven't seen this movie and are at all into action, pick it up. It's one of the coolest movies of the past few years. Even if you don't like the plot, you'll enjoy the slick effects (CG done right for a change) and wicked action. It's gory, so send the kids to bed early. If you own a Blu-ray player, this is why you bought it.
In response to previous reviews, I saw no flickering or other problems. I thought the image and sound quality were excellent. The only complaint I can really give about the overall product is the bare-bones feel of the case. I'm used to getting a nicely polished package (double-printed label with an image on the inside of the case) and some sort of insert/chapter list. None of that on this one. It feels thrown together. It's nit-picky, but I appreciate the little things like that. The Blu-Ray disc itself is excellent. The bonus features are fine.
Movie Review: Wow...
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally got around to seeing this film after so much talk about how awesome it is, and so many spoofs and parodies done about it. Totally Awesome! After studying film, I enjoy that this movie, although very CGI (but you couldn't pull off even 1/20 the visuals without it), this movie takes you into the mystical and inspiring world of ancient Greece, and tells of the legendary 300 spartans.
If you enjoy action movies, or other movies based around epic historical accounts, do not hesitate like i did, buy it, rent it, whatever, just watch it! You will not regret seeing this EPIC film!
And for those who give it a low score, come on, enjoy it for what it is, a truly epic film (which if you've seen most movies recently, besides say Avatar, you will not find anything close to this in recent cinema history.)
Spartans, what is your profession?
HAWOO! HAWOO!!
Movie Review: A question about the 1:66 (?) aspect ratio
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi there! I must say that have not seen the blu-ray edition of this great movie, but as I'm absolutely convinced about the overall quality of the blu-ray format [I have a combo blueray/HDdvd player] I'm sure it will be an enjoyable experience when it will be released here in Spain.
Well, thats my question to whom liked to answer me. What is that 1:66/1 aspect ratio I read in the specifications here at amazon? I think I saw the movie in the theater on a marvelous 2:35/1 ratio. Apart from unusual, the 1:66 is even a worst ratio than the 1:85. Can anyone tell me if it's only a mistake? Do the movie fit all the screen of your tv [1:85 aspect ratio]or not? I really DO prefer [and expected] the 2:35, and an aspect ratio closer to te 1:33 than any other seems to me a joke (and a bad one).
Thanks! Waiting for an answer.

Movie Review: Excellent movie, just the essentials...
Summary: 5 Stars
Time to kill the fanboys that flame eachother for either format with a few facts. Last I heard, Blu-ray was outselling HD-DVD 6-1, im not saying the war is over, im saying that unless HD-DVD has a few tricks up its sleeve, they better pull it out of their rectum, and fast.
Anyway, on to the movie. The movie was excellent. I had to watch the screener while deployed to the desert, but all in all it was amazing. I am very picky when it comes to spending the extra cash on a product for Blu-ray, and I would much rather snag the DVD than buy a less than epic film, and this ranks way up there. Take my word for it, even if it is a little bit over the top, it still is a great new way of telling an old legend, buy it on DVD, HD-DVD if you want, who cares, get this movie!!!
