Storyline
After its victory over Leonidas' 300, the Persian Army under the command
of Xerxes marches towards the major Greek city-states. The Democratic
city of Athens, first on the path of Xerxes' army, bases its strength on
its fleet, led by admiral Themistocles. Themistocles is forced to an
unwilling alliance with the traditional rival of Athens, oligarchic
Sparta whose might lies with its superior infantry troops. But Xerxes
still reigns supreme in numbers over sea and land.
300 Movie Reviews
As
a movie it is OK but as a sequel to 300 it is insulting at best. As
soon as the movie begins the first thing you notice is its in full
colour and within a few minutes you realise that a lot of it has been
shot around the basis of 3d. I'm not a massive fan of 3d however i don't
mind it when it fits to the film whereas the film fits to the 3d here
instead. Gone is the slow motion beauty although it is attempted it
seriously falls flat. If that is not enough the huge army of Persia is
gone and instead the film is pretty much boat based which is dull at
best. The whole movie is contained in the trailer. The whole get from a
to b in a special way at the end was about as unbelievable as it gets.
The title is fully misleading as Spartans hardly appear at all except
for about two minutes and despite attempting to explain why a god-king
becomes a god-king there is no empire included in this movie save for
the few boats.
If you enjoy action movies for something to watch
this is OK it passes the time. If however you find the original 300
stands apart for the visuals and the fight scenes then do not waste your
time you will be disappointed. It is annoying to me that they used the
300 name which made me want to watch it as it really was a average film
at best
