Dir. Zack Snyder

Aroview: Brawny, unapologetic war mongering from the imagination of Frank Miller (SIN CITY), this ancient warrior epic indulges heavily in CGI effects and a propensity for hyper-violence in re-envisioning 300 SPARTANS for the video game age.

A visual spectacle by any standard, the film partakes especially in masculine bloodletting: a 300-strong militia, lead by Spartan king Leonidas (Butler), defy Persian dictatorship (and common sense) to stand their ground against an army of millions. With a boyish gladiatorialism that descends quickly into puerile entertainment, dir. Snyder’s action orienteering will thrill anyone with a PlayStation attention span, though may bludgeon others senseless with its high volume of stylized death making and gung-ho excess.
