Have you ever tried the French cuisine? Have you experienced its perfection? If so, you will understand this review because this movie is like a French dish.
Every scene, every flash of an eye, every drop of blood and every word were deeply and profoundly studied to create a perfect successor to the movie that caught the hearts of millions all over the world. This movie is neither a sequel nor a prequel to "300", it is both at the same time.
This movie is a great watch; it takes you back thousands of years, to the era of the great warriors. The director Naom Murro manages to create the perfect atmosphere and I felt completely taken for 102 minutes. All the characters were well-developed and perfectly casted. Eva Green was excellent playing Artemisia; I can even say that she surprised me.
I enjoyed this movie although I am not really a fan of 300. I had a tough time watching the killing scenes but I admit that they served the large scheme perfectly.
Like French dishes, this movie is very well done, it is perfect BUT it is not the kind of
movies that I, personally, crave to see.
Rating: 3.5/5
Nice review Rihab. If you didn't like the first, I'd say don't even bother. But if you did quite enjoy the first, like I did, then I'd say go for it anyway. Can't hurt.
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
ReplyDeleteI watched the first movie at home so I can't really judge, you know it is the kind of movies where the visual/sound effects are used heavily. 300 is a great movie that is a truth no one can deny but it is not exactly my favorite kind of movies.
