Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel Xerxes, and told in the same breathtaking visual style of Man of Steel director Zack Snyder's battle blockbuster 300, this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh arena -- on the sea -- as statesman-turned-soldier Themistokles (Gangster Squad's Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. This action-adventure epic pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by the treacherous god-king Xerxes (Lost's Rodrigo Santoro reprising his role), and the seductive, vindictive and ambitious Artemisia (Camelot's Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy. Outnumbered, but not outmaneuvered, the Greek general gambles everything on a daring plan that could seal the fate of his country and the future of democracy.

Critics Consensus: It's bound to hit some viewers as an empty exercise in stylish gore, and despite a gonzo starring performance from Eva Green, 300: Rise of an Empire is a step down from its predecessor.

…very much more of the same in terms of bare-chested speeches and heavy bouts of narration, but the epic sea battles are freshly presented, and the spectacle is huge throughout…

Aside from Green, “300: Rise of an Empire” doesn’t have a lot to offer.

Green enlivens the screen. The rest consists of profuse bloodshed and slow-motion, copying Snyder’s style to mind-numbing extremes.

Skulls split, crows feast, and golden calves jiggle in the sun-kissed air - spectacle begets spectacle. In the end the movie doesn't hold together as well as the first one, but good hell it's some fun while you're up in it.

Richard Crouse

A great villain and some fun action scenes almost make up for the plodding plot but the brutishness of the storytelling makes the original feel positively light hearted by comparison.
