300 Rise of an Empire. Directed by Noam Murro. Starring Sullivan Stapleton, Eva Green, and Lena Headey. What a movie. Going into this I was excited yet skeptical. How were they gonna come back from the EPIC first 300? Was this sequel gonna be any good? I can pleasantly say this movie did not suck. But it did suffer from greatness. What do i mean? A lot of what made the first movie so great was here in this installment. However, before, it was mind-blowing. This time it was, well, just there. So many movies have used that sssslllllooooooooowwwwwww down then speed up cam that its still great, but a little played out. That being said the action scenes, which there where a whole hell of A LOT, where great but i felt like I have see this before. The acting was so so. I felt myself not really caring about any of the characters, i just wanted to see the fight scenes. It was a good movie but could have been a lot better.
