Review of 300: Rise of an Empire (2014) by Jay S — 02 Feb 2018

Unfortunately, the stylish novelty seen in the first 300 film had worn out its welcome by the time this installment came along. Themistocles felt like an empty lead hero, practically generic in a way, failing to resonate any sort of rooting interest.

Eva Green's wicked Artemisia was mildly more interesting but couldn't do much to save the movie. Some of the more interesting elements were the back stories to Xerxes and Artemisia, but all in all a rather dull outing.
