300 creates new rules for Graphic Novel Cinema, and how!
After First Half
A little disappointed, the film lacks in pathos, something which put Apocalypto in a separate league, lacks in the Sin City poetry, tears and the shock factor, which juxtaposes the tender with the cruel. I am pointing out the minuses because they are few…

After second half
OK..I finally got that feeling climbing down the rolling titles, in true Spartan fervor!
This is it! What else could I want?! Burning screen, Humane blood, Paused Motion, Red against Sepia. Even a text book drama to satisfy ‘them’. Controlled Insanity. Muffled thud of war drums. A play with sexuality-both visceral and phallic. A reason to hope in the craft. A historic clear sky slowly gets dirtied in a rising inferno of an inevitable moment.
A war in soul.
A breathing mortality.

300 achieves that rare combine of comic book crispi-raci-ness and historic beauty. The images on screen are proudly loud; they are comic book characters with a cinematic voice that rips the screen apart. And it is this uniqueness that is making it rewrite film collection history all over. It works with absolutely everyone. It is a fantasy if you want, an epic (seated in a heady conflict-resolution flava) if you want, and a daringly different FILM, if you want.
