300: Rise of an Empire update feed
"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. "
"Artemisia played by Eva Green Artemisia: "Steel and flesh... life and death... war." "
"Often Hated For: Being a "sidequel" rather than a sequel whose mainstream popularity turned it from a beloved picture to one fit for derision, it's continued display of macho badassery, uber-violence, and sex, and its Spartan deficiency. Reason I Love It: Honestly, I thought it did everything the original did only better (give or take an element or two) while entirely complementing it. 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."
