Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Not much to say really, significantly worse than the first this sequel is nothing to write home about really. The story is essentially copy/pasted and slightly extended and it finishes slightly abrupt. However with fairly good comic action nodding to its roots its visuals are quite pleasing and in cases moreso than the original. Just an average film

Movie Review: "300: Rise Of An Empire" (2013)As all wars begin with a mortification of dying father's son, Xerxes, reprising actor Rodrigo Santoro, sends his deadliest instrument in shape of forged by rape, abuse, tortured then trained-in-swordsmanship character of Artemisia, viciously portrayed by actress Eve Green, to take on the remaining splintered clans of the Greeks after the fall of Leonidas' "300" (2006) directed by Zack Synder, who had been indisposed for this production due to his non-stop involvements into the DC universe since 2011. His substitute director has become Noam Murro, who presents no signature of his own, even if the screenplay also written by Zack Snyder and Kurt Johnstad gives plenty of opportunity to exceed the phenomenal original "300" based on Frank Miller's graphic novel series. The 90 Minutes gamble of endurance in a wish to unite all clans Delphi, Olympus, Sparta and the others to defy the Persian Superpower, gets decide in a five minute scene in a interior Persian attack ship's cabin between the characters of Artemisia and Greek-leading Themistokles, pale and uninspiring performed by actor Sullivan Stapleton, who nevertheless had a moment to shine with actress Eva Green, when the sharpness of a man's sword translates to the sexual interaction between the two characters, when Artemisia rightfully suggests to join forces by dying every night with a tight sleep in a female's flawless anus to get awaken to life every morning by the sharpest penis as sword allegory in a matching heath of a war-mongering showdown of doubled-budgets in fire-breathing, ships crashing, even underwater sea monsters glimpsing proportions.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

This is one of the worst sequels ever. 300 was an iconic movie which set a landmark for upcoming action movies. I haven't seen action sequences as good as 300 in any other movie till now. This movie couldn't deliver after creating so much hype after its predecessor. I appreciate performance of Eva Green as Artemisia in this movie. This movie is all about her.We do not get to see much of Xerxes or Dilios as expected. Themistokles is no match for Leonidus. Story is weak as well compared to 300. None of the character seems impressive. Went to theater to watch an action flick but had to wait for more than an hour of boring politics s**t to finally get some good action sequences. The last scene with Lena Headey is superb! This movie is easily avoidable. I see this movie just as a boring build up for maybe something interesting that is yet to come. Hope the next one will not disappoint!

The first time you watch it, you may expect it to be like the first 300 movie. In fact, it is, but it's story line is developing in parallel with the first one, and is different.Because of some expectations, it's at the second watching that I've been really able to admire all the beauty and the perfection of this second story.Everything in this movie is perfect. The actors are fabulous, the costumes are beautiful, the soundtrack is marvellous, and all the work they put into the visual effects, make every shot a feast for the eyes.I mean, seriously, you could stop the movie at any frame and it would make a poster of it. It's how beautiful and perfect it is.So forget all the negative reviews, and watch it by yourself, and if possible, twice.
