Review of 300: Rise of an Empire (2014) by Cooper H — 27 Mar 2016
Consider the original '300' film, take away the director- make him a producer. Keep it polished, full of action, tons of bloodshed, and the speed ramping slow-motion that made the first one famous.
Take away personality, creativity, acting ability, and make it more about bumper boats than head to head battles. Now you have 'Rise of an Empire'. I do give them credit for being able to make a sequel (prequel?, or simultaneous-quel? ) that was uniquely from a different perspective in story telling.
The story also kept its graphic novel-esque shot angles and feel. So kudos for that. Otherwise, it's a sinking ship. Rating: 6 / 10.
