Reviews
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Isaac Ibarra Echegollén Honestly this was entertaining to watch and had a well mounted story, yeah it wasn't historically correct, whatever, for that matter go see a documentary, honestly i found it amusing and good not deserving of the 3/10 people are giving it, 300 was a super movie and people are putting this one in a bad spot because of the shadow of the original and that's not fair, this isn't Lalaland or some utter garbage movie like that.
nibha1281 This is one of the worst sequels ever. 300 was an iconic movie which set a landmark for upcoming action movies. I haven't seen action sequences as good as 300 in any other movie till now. This movie couldn't deliver after creating so much hype after its predecessor. I appreciate performance of Eva Green as Artemisia in this movie. This movie is all about her.We do not get to see much of Xerxes or Dilios as expected. Themistokles is no match for Leonidus. Story is weak as well compared to 300. None of the character seems impressive. Went to theater to watch an action flick but had to wait for more than an hour of boring politics s**t to finally get some good action sequences. The last scene with Lena Headey is superb! This movie is easily avoidable. I see this movie just as a boring build up for maybe something interesting that is yet to come. Hope the next one will not disappoint!
Angeneer Most people hopefully know the storyline is not entirely accurate (but it is based on actual events and actual people). However this movie is all about this delicious comic book style and the epicness of a long lost era.For us Greeks it also hits a nerve as a (quite idealized) depiction of what we are taught in our schoolbooks about the Persian wars. Watching a movie with the heroes of our history makes us proud and it is a very welcome positive reference to our country especially in the context of the last years.For all the 1/10 reviewers please relax, it is cinema, the great escape from reality. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
Rainey Dawn I finally got around to watching this movie and WTF were they thinking when they created this one? It fails in every way to live up to the original film. I was expecting something completely different than this half mess. I like about one-half of this film and the other half I didn't.The story is a far cry from the first movie - it sucks, badly sucks. I really expected this follow-up to sorta pick up where the first film left off and not a half messed up prequel.What I did like was the battles and costuming... and that's about it. Most of the actors are okay but could not hold a candle to the first film. My beef with it is the story stinks for the most part.I'm rating it a 5 out of 10 because I half way liked it, and half way didn't. I would recommend the first movie but not this one.5/10
