Was sometimes like they where reading their lines from a placard. Some of the scenes are atrociously acted. Maybe done to cater to 3D, but from the very first kill it was so idiotic and made it look extremely cheap. Then there's the blood.In what can only be described as small versions of The Smoke from "Lost". And between the over the top action sequences they would stand like Hercules and nstantly. It was like a game of battleships (though i would replace the p with a more appropriate t).
It contained more speeches than the Oscars. The slow motion kills are done to death.within the first 10 minutes.
All this films does is take everything that made the first film great and urinate all over it. By the end of the film it is clear that it was nothing more than a cheap ruse. The trailer baits you in, with what seemed a promising plot. But i never thought in my worst nightmares that it would be as bad as it was. And i never wanted to hear the announcement of an unnecessary sequel. I loved "300" the action was engrossing, the story was compelling, it was an instant classic. And then instead of leaving it as is, they decide to bring in the cash cow and milk it dry. Had i just witnessed the most disappointing sequel ever? I had not felt this disheartened by a sequel since "The Matrix: Reloaded" Like "The Matrix", "300" for me was excellent groundbreaking. The violence is bloody and brutal but the film has a whiff of homo erotic campiness mixed with bland acting leaving only Eva Green to steal her scenes as Artemesia the ruthless fighter and temptress.Īs the credits began to roll, i sat for a moment, allowing it all to sink in.
Even Lena Headey the narrator and the wife of Gerard Butler in the original is transformed into a tough warrior Queen. The Persians might value autocratic rule but made a female Greek, a general. Its inconsistent, whereas the Spartans were born and trained fighters, here the farmers suddenly become victorious warriors as if the screenwriters have a grudge against Persians or modern day Iran! The Greeks might value freedom but raped and enslaved a little girl. It lacks the graphic novel look of the original. 300 the sequel is all over the place in tone and consistency. Themistocles has got together a band of farmers to train and take on the Persian army in some crafty sea battles. He is supported by a female Persian General of Greek origin, Artemisia (Eva Green) who wants revenge on the Greeks who killed her parents and raped her as a child. The King's son Xerxes swears revenge as he is transformed into a campy looking warrior king and launches total war on the Greeks. This is a flawed sequel-prequel to 300 focusing on Themistocles the legendary leader of the Athenian forces who killed King Darius during the battle of Marathon.
