Review of 300: Rise of an Empire (2014) by Mike P — 09 Aug 2014
After about 40min into this late cash in on the tremendously successful Zack Snyder original, I realized this was all about the 3D gimmick. Every slash in this movie we get a stock pile of fake CGI blood and a story I don't think anyone cared about.
The only person that looked like they were even having fun with their role was Eva Green, who deserved a better movie. This movie showed me Zack Snyder is one of the most underappreciated directors out there b/c when he used slow motion it worked b/c it was used at the right times, not just to make a 80 minute movie become a 100 minute movie.
Watch the original or go on a Game of Thrones marathon.
