Screen Arts 9/10

300: Rise of an Empire

I loved the original 300, so was looking forward to seeing the sequel. Sadly however the storyline is rather minimal, and there seems to be a focus on the 3D and CGI elements. Now dont get me wrong, this movie would have looked awesome in the theatre with 3D glasses but coming off netflix its not enough to make up for the storyline. It was good to see some nods to the original in the cast, and with flashbacks but Im still partial to the Spartans not the Athenians. I believe this movie strayed a lot further from the actual historical battles also.

Queen Gorgo, King Leonidas' wife now in charge of Sparta due to the kings sacrifice at the gates.

Artemisia, a greek woman betrayed by her country at a young age, raised and trained by the Persians and seeking revenge on Greece. I included her because she is a total badass.
