Genre: action/ adventure.
Run time: I hour 43 mins
Rated: R.
So this is the flick that has deviated my attention off Lupita Nyong’o.
In 2009, the film 300 was an international hit. In fact, it is
one of mu all time “hall of famer”of all time I must repeat! It told the story
of how king Leonidas; played by Gerald Butler, led 300 Spartans to battle the
Persian go-king Xerxes, played by Rodrigo Sontoro and his powerful army of
300,000. The movies ended in a rather great suspense; word I imprinted on my
notebook after watching the movie:
“This day, we rescue a world from mysticism and tyranny and usher a
future, brighter than anything, we can imagine. Give thanks to Leonidas and the
brave 300! To victory!”
Let us be honest, with such an ending tell me; and many of us already
on our feet, it was only a matter of time before a sequel hit our screens,
seven years later! The boys or guys’ flick is back! Time to hook up with the
boys and hit the cinemas.
The new film is based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel; Xerxes,
and takes the action to a fresh battlefield- the sea.
The film pits the Greek General Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton)
against attacking Persian forces, ruled by self-proclaimed Xerxes; son and heir
to king Darius; and led by his naval commander, the evil Artemisia (Eva Green).
As an Athenian politician who earnestly believes in democracy, General
Themistocles attempts to unite the desperate Greek city states to fight
together against the Persian invaders, even including his traditional enemies,
the Spartans. But he runs into major opposition from Spartan queen Gorgo (Lena
Headey).
The visuals are stunning; well- choreographed fighting scenes and a lot
of blood fest. There are a lot of slow-motion visuals too. This is one for you
and the boys! If you fell in love with 300 or liked it; you will definitely
like this!
