Who needs art or story when you can take good vs bad guy, add a little element of racism in there and let it all go. But I do like how they made sure we know that this time its not the Spartans but the Athenians by giving them blue capes instead of red capes. Go team Blue! | ||

I really enjoyed 300 and I am looking forward to watching this one. Zack Snyder may not make the best movie maker of all time, but his way of shooting actions scene are really sick. I loved Sucker Punch too. | ||

The only complaints I had was the CGI in the movie. It wasn't bad, but there are times where it was so noticeable that it might distract you. I don't think it was the budget since this movie had a higher budget than the first 300. What I liked about the visuals is how much different it was to 300. 300 had more of a sand, rough, and hot feel while Rise of an Empire was more calm and soothing. I guess you can say it is due to their red and blue capes respectively, lol. I am also one of those that supported this movie because I saw it as a parallel/companion movie since it's loosely based off history. I thought they did a nice job showing the before, concurrent, and after within the timeline. I think some will be confused if they are unfamiliar of the history or forgotten the events and dialogue of the first 300. Spoilers about Eva Green's character + Show Spoiler + DEM TITTIES | ||

I mean, there is still some cool action scenes, of course. I agree that Eva Green was the best part of the movie, but Sullivan Stapleton did a good job, as well. Themistocles is no Leonidas, but I liked that because it showed how different Athenian and Spartan culture is and their upbringing. The only complaints I had was the CGI in the movie.

The first 300 fighting felt more authentic and raw and brutal an you could feel the force of some blows. This movie felt a lot more cgi based but I still really enjoye it it had some great scenes. And wow Eva green is amazing .... Really beautiful Overall solid action movie I loved it .... But the first was a bit better IMO | ||

Having said that, I'm astonished that they managed to make this movie even less historically accurate than 300. That takes effort. Movie was fun to watch, but not nearlly as good as 300 imo. Themistocles doesn't have anywhere near the charisma of Leonidas and the fights are a lot more confusing because of the sea aspect. Plus the story is less crisp because they have so much more story to tell. 300 was very nice and confined. Here they are trying to tell us the before, during and after of the original movie, and it gets a little rushed at times imo. | ||

The best scene was when the woman asked the MC to become her slave/ally while being raped/fucking him. After his refusal, she kicked him out of the ship. Me + friends laughed because it reminded us of an internet meme : DOESN'T MATTER, HAD SEX. | ||

Was a really good movie imho, on par with the prequel. Eva Green was really good in so many aspect. Sullivan Stapleton tried his best and was more than OK, but still not as good and badass as Gerard Butler as Leonidas. Fights were really well made, the 3D helped too with some cool effects with the bloods. War Pigs from Black Sabbath in the OST was awesome :D for me, 8/10. +1 because of Green's tities, so 9/10. | ||

Here they are trying to tell us the before, during and after of the original movie, and it gets a little rushed at times imo. I thought they did actually pretty well with historical accuracy. The Greek navy really did wait till sun-down to attack at Thermopylae. The Persians really did bridge the Bosphorus with a huge pontoon bridge. The Greeks really did use mostly Biremes in that era. Athens really was burned to the ground after the Battle of Thermopylae. Also classical naval combat WAS all about ramming and boarding actions. Sure, Darius didn't die at Marathon in real life, and Artemesia didn't actually exist, but the original made up tons of shit too. In real life, the Oracle was in favor of Leonidas' plan. In real life, there's no evidence Ephialtes existed, let alone that he was some crazy hunchback mutant. I thought the sex scene was actually the worst part of the movie. It was completely pointless, was the longest scene in the movie up to that point, and just wasted time that could've been better spent on stupidly over-the-top battle scenes. Yeah, her titties were pretty nice, but I'm not gonna pay 12$ for softcore porn when I can get all the porn I want on the internet for free. | ||

The naval combat was the coolest part. Other details (Spartan cavalry ships! IRL only 16 Spartan ships in the battle in a fleet of 200-400 ships, but they were made commanders because non-Athenians were suspiscious of Themistocles. They were there all along.) were very off. Generally, a contentless movie saved by cool visuals and *semi*-realistic naval battles. | ||

It's kinda the foundational story of the West. The level of accuracy at which any of us know it can vary, but we should all have a decent sense of what happened. | ||
