Eva Green delights as the cunning Artemesia, so dominating every scene she's in that Empire almost feels as if it is her story rather than a tale of Greek freedom.March 07, 2014
Don't be surprised if, two weeks from now, you forget it ever existed.March 07, 2014
Long on crimson spurts of blood but low on character, larded with production value but bereft of any other kind of it, "300: Rise of an Empire' is a 3D joke.March 09, 2014
The mere existence of 300: Rise of an Empire is worthy of note, especially the inventive means by which the story has been advanced.March 07, 2014
There is much grinding of teeth, and mauling of history, and anachronistic use of gunpowder, until we plug our ears and desperately pray to the gods of Olympus, or the brothers of Warner, that they might make an end.March 09, 2016
300: Rise of an Empire therefore becomes a tedious slog of repetitive callbacks not only to its predecessor but also itself.July 14, 2015
Tries hard to follow in Snyder's footsteps - plenty of speed-ramping slow-mo action - but it just comes across as an imitator.April 08, 2016
Just by avoiding the haze of perfunctoriness that envelops so many sequels, "300: Rise Of An Empire" is a success.July 11, 2016
For a film that's trying to outdo its predecessor in every way possible, Rise falls a bit short. It still looks glorious, retaining that distinctive chromatic style and gloomy colour palette for that essential comic-book look.October 10, 2014
Black Sabbath's War Pigs coats the end credits in the aural equivalent of liquid metal, the final guilty pleasure of a senses-battering 106 minutes of military mayhem.March 07, 2014
Artemisia may ultimately have lost the war in this clash of civilizations, but she wins our hearts.March 07, 2014
If the movie's action recalls video games, the dramatically artificial lighting suggests 1980s rock videos. Indeed, Rise of an Empire is so campy that it might work better as a musical.
