It looks just like the first one. I hate that slow motion though.

I think it looks better then I was expecting, but would agree that it probably won't duplicate the success of the first movie.

I don't know my greek/persian history, but reading Wikipedia I guess Eva Green's character is a "bad" person?

Looks "blah" to me. But then I didn't like the first film at all.

Looks okay. Eva Green is good at playing evil women, and I don't think there is an actress alive with sexier eyes.

Love the first one and this looks pretty cool too. The naval combat is a nice change of pace.

"Fucking" or "pretty", which is it?

I'll use both to say it looks pretty fucking mediocre. Loads of aping Snyder's dreadfully-overdone slow-mo, no iconic lead like Butler, and, worst of all, the whole thing just looks like a big video game on screen. I'm so exhausted with films shot entirely on green screen; they leave me feeling nothing.

If they're hot, yes.

Bump for its upcoming opening. Eva Green aside, I have little interest in this one. Movie Pass will come in handy.

Only 9 reviews out on Rotten Tomatoes so far, but 6 positive and 3 negative.

Sullivan Stapleton from Strike Back makes this an automatic watch.

If you still haven't seen Strike Back, watch it.

First one barely registered fresh with 60%. Will be surprised if this one gets reviewed any better.

The only reason I would even consider seeing this is for Eva Green, who looks like she is having an absolute blast ripping shit up.

I'm seeing it Thursday. Sullivan Stapleton is awesome. He rocks in Strike Back and kicked ass in Animal Kingdom.

Eva Green and Lena Headey are the only reasons I'd consider seeing this.

Sullivan Stapleton did his fucking in this movie like he did in strike back; he is alway getting action both in strike back and 300.

Re: 300: Rise of an Empire (2014, D: Murro)

THE ONLY reason "300: Rise of an Empire" might be worth seeing is because of Eva Green. I'm beginning to think of her as the Nic Cage of actresses. This isn't an insult either. Like Cage the crazier her character is the better she is. She's batshit in this. She's the only one actually doing anything of note. Everything else feels like a "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" extended episode.
