I was not a big fan of 300 but I thought the fight scenes were awesome, and I was at the very least entertained by it. Rise of an Empire is a whole other story. Not only were the action sequences significantly worse than the original, but the amount of cheese the dialogue contained in this would be more than enough to turn all the French into gluttons. And Persian suicide bombers? Ancient terrorists? Are you fucking kidding me? I am not one to get offended, but fuck was I ever offended.

Rarely does one leave the cinema regretting no appearance of Gerard Butler. But I actually did. Stapleton, a good actor, doesn't provide enough oomph, and Eva Green, in a ridiculous role, haven't got the required flair for going big that added a lot of fun camp value to '300'. She does, however, flaunt her (decidedly un-spartan) spartans. Which, as always, gives rise to... ehm, applause? Jokes aside, the action scenes are energetic, the pacing swift and, crucially, it's only 102 minutes long.

THIS IS SPARTA/ATHENS/WHATEVER! It's extremely stupid, but I still kinda liked it! So sue me for being a sucker for the fast-slow-fast-slow-graphic-blood-spraying-violence. I don't care!

I was confused whether to die laughing or get an erection during that Eva Green sex scene. The action is pretty cool in that comic-booky way that the first 300 popularized.

50 ships against roughly 1000? Them be some great odds considering the last fight was 300 soldiers against an army of a trillion billion Persian dudes, the odd megaelephant and a hunchback! Oh, lest I forget. Eva Green: Would you like some cheese with that ham?

Wow this was shit. Everyone blew, even that Eva Green chick and most of the CGI was horrid. Everyone awkwardly acts and floats around obviously fake green screen sets and the blood looked like stylized crap. Made me want to see Gerard Butler and the crew from the first film, if that says anything. 10 points for each boob shown I guess?
2	CCLZA	40 _12th
All the points go to Eva Green.

A potent Xerxes Begins plot is rushed to make room for "300: Meanwhile Somewhere Else In Teal And Orange Greece". Ironically this all-in-all needless sequel is actually a more competent action movie, even if it lacks the über-macho-nonsense charm of the first one.

More of what we love about 300, tons of exposition, naval battles, and non-spartans fighting.. oh wait.

Fuck me and my obsessive need to watch sequels.

Too much overblown testosterone and erect penis spraying for any normal person to handle. A guy who sat in front of me was cackling and fist-pumping every time a Persian was ruthlessly slaughtered, so that was funny, and Eva Green does a good job of chewing up every scene, even if her acting was hilarious. If only these MRA reddit males understood how loved these movies are by the homosexual community. That's about all I have to say about this movie.

Absolute shite, and the visual effects on the horse/boat riding scene? Did they use the same CGI motor in Godzilla 1954 edition?
1	Obdurate	35 _6th
Eva Green (and her titties) is the only redeeming quality of this movie. The slow-mo is excessive and boring, the visual style is wasted on bland environments and the action got tedious. There was a lot of bad, cheesy moments too. Why was he on a horse on a ship?
1	omgfridge	3 _27th
This has an unbelievable amount of teal in it.
1	Giuseppe	60 _15th
This is a sequel to a film that didn't need a sequel. It tries to emulate the first film, but is its inferior in pretty much every conceivable way. It's not memorable, perhaps except for Eva Green's titillating performance (pun intended), and it's bereft of any charisma.
1	Dunder74	3 _14th
Laughable, confounding, and overall a shit production. Why is there slow-mo even in the sex scene?
1	Tavington	2 _37th
To be honest, I watched it because Eva's breasts and I am not disappointed. With breasts I mean. They are really fine. And she either 'fucks' good or she just acts 'fucking' great. Last observation I have made is that (2) women here are really badass whilst all men are bunch of wusses. With Stapleton being alpha wuss and Santoro being beta wuss.

Eva Green owns
1	overrated	34 _26th
Slightly less memorable than the original, just as homoerotically oily, somewhat saved by Eva Green chewing the shit out of everything. Two scenes made me laugh very hard, one involved a table, another a horse. Major blue balls with the sudden end.

Let's face it the first 300 was dopey but this one just goes over the top with its violent historical fantasy glam rock. This is the expected orgy of muscled men shouting and flying through the air in slow motion slicing people in half. It's just too much of rote imitation of Zack Snyder to be anything special. Eva Green is nice to look at least but the whole warrior chick thing and shoe horned in obligatory female empowerment scenes feels tired and patronizing.

Instead of sticking to the cinematics from the first installment, and doing a mediocre, yet watchable sequel, they simply made a long episode of the series "Spartacus". The dialogue, the horrific blood splatter, the small dots in the air (what is that!?), hell, even the main character is as close to a spitting image as possible. Sparta --> Sparta-CUS. Coincidence? - Bad

blood, blood, blood, pep talk, blood, muscle, muscle, blood, blood, muscle, muscle, pep talk, muscle, muscle, blood, blood, blood, boobs, muscle, muscle, pep talk, blood, blood, blood.....

300: Rise of an Empire is pretty much what you can expect. It's gory, it's got a ton of slow-motion action, it goes back and forth between this action and overly macho and clichéd expository speeches. Its plot is non-existent, and most of its characters are generic white men. Eva Green crafts a character and carries far more of the film than she should have to. It ends on a cliffhanger without the promise of a sequel, which is unforgivable. If you liked the first one, this is more of the same.
1	hellboy76	55 _19th
Some decent effects, all of which are shoved down your throat thus ruining any of the effect. The slow mo horse attack was odd and hilarious.
1	glumpy_99	83 _67th
First rate actioner is admittedly silly as a lesson in history (or even pure logic) but as a balls-to-the-wall thrill ride, this is pretty great; the tone is set early by Green's deliriously evil villain and some full-blooded action scenes (seen in 3D via giant swathes of red covering the screen). This may well be earnestness sliding irrevocably towards camp, but whatever it is, it's great fun, moving at a good clip, and even has some time for a sense of humour!

it's a fake of history
1	Daph_NL	30 _7th
A lot of fighting, a lot of blood and a lot of gore. 300 was something different, but Rise of an Empire is completely unnessecary. 30/100.

the nastiest fight you ever saw at a gay nightclub

300: Rise of an Empire is exactly what it says on the tin. I wasn't overly impressed by Zack Snyder's 300, so it's no surprise that this long awaited sequel underwhelmed me. This is probably a 14 year old boys idea of a cool film, but I find it all so exhaustingly dull. The fight scenes in 300 where unique at the time, but this sequel has nothing new to offer. Eva Green is an interesting addition and at an absolute push she's the films only saving grace. Otherwise this is completely forgettable.

Lots of blood, and Eva Green's boobs. That about sums it up. - 3/31/14
