Movie review: 300...RISE OF THE EMPIRE

This films story, it seems, was running parallel with the original 300 film. As King Leonides ( Gerard " see you Jimmy, I'm a Spartan " Butler ) was getting his arse whooped by 1,000,000 Persians, Themistocles ( Sullivan ' is Luke Goss my brother " Stapleton ) was preparing his fleet of ships to do battle with the Persians.

With no help from the Spartan widow Queen Gorgo, he goes into battle with a miniscule army. As his arrow strikes a Persian King dead but his son, Xerxes, vows revenge.

Yes Xerxes is the big girls blouse that you see in the original film, decked out in gold chains and gold underpants. Eva Brick ( Eva Green folks ) plays the Evil Persian fleet commander and boy is she tough.

She caught a sailor chewing gum and, when asked if he had enough for all the crew, he said no and she cut out his tongue. There is a mass of flying blood and gore in this film ( not one for the nippers ) There is more action in this film than the original. If you enjoyed 300, you will enjoy this. Not a lot of smiles.

I kind of enjoyed the 300, but I liked the Spartacus TV series a lot better. Much better characters and character development.

"If you enjoyed 300, you will enjoy this."

I watched it today and I agree. It is very similar in style and violence content.

Both good movies the 300's

Of course Spartacus had more character development since they had more seasons to display instead a few hours.

One of the best series ever imo

I really liked it, but I'm not proud of it.
