Good action but very very slow needed 2 bottles of Coke just to keep myself going
Nasty bloodbath. Just when you think it might get interesting it's ruined with over the top graphic violence.
waste of time
awful!....the CG is weak, and these aren't even Spartans, in the first movie you could buy 300 elite soldiers holding off an army for a few days, but we're supposed to swallow a bunch of farmers becoming sailor-warriors!? and somehow a fleet of 100 ships can destroy 10,000 "evil Arab" ships, come on, who wrote this nonsense.
sucks
Not nearly as enjoyable as the first movie. Eva Green is fun to watch, but the movie seemed much longer than it actually was.
The absolute best, the historical line only needs to be followed by the third move. The Spartans just arrived in the last five minutes of this movie. Persia better get their butts out of there. In this movie the Greek farmers were manning the fleet and fighting the Persians. Can't waite. When will # three be here?
What worked in 300 with land combat failed with rise of an empire and ocean combat. They some how managed to give up most of the things that made 300 good and replaced it with a dreary wet borefest.
Superb cinematography and the cast/actors deserve Kudos. It was bloody but we call it war of honour and pride. Excellent picture with a lot of Greek spirit/history and recognition. Deserves an Oscar!
as its own movie it would have done well, as a sequel to 300 you expect far more
