"Fight in the shade..."
This was a movie that I totally got what I was expecting. Frank Miller is the comic genius that was behind "Sin City" and the dark-side of "Batman Begins." he has this way of making a story flow within his books.
This was seamlessly done when transferred from one media to the other. "300" is pure visual candy in HD DVD and the sound is amazing. The action scenes start to finish are memorable. The story of the 300 spartans is a very interesting one but with that twist. Even if you only have have standard DVD, this on is a great addition for the library.

Fantastic HD-DVD
I love this HD-DVD. With a good 5.1 setup the sound is one of the best I've heard. The movie was filmed with a bit of grain to the picture, just as long as you realize this then you will enjoy the picture this hddvd reproduces. The movie itself is a great action movie, some amazing lines in it. Well worth the pickup in my mind.

Good, but some issues.
The movie contained a great variety of visual/audio stimulation. The uncompressed audio that is available on the HDDVD makes this movie even more exciting. But the visual quality, even on 1080p isn't spectacular based on the 'old-school' sort of grainy filter the director used. The video quality is clearer and more vivid, but the sharpness isn't great.
The only other thing that is of extremely poor taste is the exclusive 'combo' version of the HDDVD for this movie. They make it double sided; one side HDDVD and the other regular DVD. Then the manufacturers jack up the price. I don't EVER recall seeing DVD's and VHS being packaged together when DVD's were first coming out. This specific detail is a load of garbage and drops it from a 4 star to a 3 star and angers me every time popular HDDVDs get that stupid combo formatting for extra money that most people wont ever use.
