"Bolstered by a different approach to what was expected, this "side-quel" proves both loyal to what makes a 300 movie but just different enough to engage in new ways. "

Loved the peek into Xerxes' evolution as a leader and the new hero Themistocles was a lot easier to relate to "

" And the story of lots of men with lots of abs continues. I was still struck by the ambience represented. The visual imagery really does put you right in the story. It was a good follow-up to the original, I thought."
