Overall though it just felt like it was redundant and lacking that special something that made the first so good.Well they were mostly at sea, and I thought Eva Green was terrific as Artemisia. Sure, the actor who played Themistocles was no Gerald Butler, but nor should he have been in my eyes. Strictly through the prism of the film, many of the Athenians were potters, blacksmiths, carpenters etc. and were not bred to be warriors like the Spartans.Plus, I never watched a sequel that took place before, during, and after the first film. It's quite a companion piece to 300 in my eyes.Quote from: The Kurgan on Jan 02, 2019, 05:00:57 PMI thought it was hilarious that they made a point that the Athenians are regular citizens instead of trained soldiers while every one beeing as buff or even more so than the Spartans in the first one. Than you see Spartans at the end of RoaE and they are even bigger now Actually, I disagree. I found the Athenians much leaner.Maybe a little bit. They still look like their trade is more lifting iron than pottery Hah! Well it is 300 after all! Even the potters have glistening sexy abs!!! But overall, the main characters did look leaner imo, for what it's worth. Of course, they have to celebrate the male form. They are ancient greeks afterall But seeing them in comparision, you are right, they are a leaner.

Quote from: Baron Von Marlon on Jan 03, 2019, 02:31:44 AMDoes it all matter when you can watch the Spartacus series instead?
Quote from: KiramidHead on Jan 03, 2019, 02:37:29 AMDoes that matter when you can just watch the Kubrick film?
