300: rise of an empire
Greek general Themistokles leads the charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.
Another loud, dumb, action-packed gore-fest. 300: Rise of an Empire should please fans of the original. All the battle scenes are in slow-motion. It's just more of the same. That being said, I did have a bit of fun with this. Evan Green's gives a great performance as Artemisia, the Greek mortal-turned-god leader of the Persian army. For the few scenes she has, Lena Headey was good as Queen Gorgo, the wife of Leonidas from the first movie. Sullivan Stapleton was okay as Themistokles, general of the Greek army. But he can't hold a candle compared to Gerald Bulter and Michael Fassbender. There's lots of action and over-the-top violence. The 3D also wasn't too bad, but you'll be fine with 2D as well. What irritated me though was the CGI. Half of this movie is CGI. Millions of dollars and they can even make some decent blood effects. 300: Rise of an Empire is not a great movie. Don't take it too seriously and you might have fun.
