Why This Film Isn’t Called ‘302’ I Will Never Know
Behold the second trailer for 300: Rise of an Empire!
I’ve gotta be honest…I’m pretty lukewarm about this trailer. I loved 300 with a deafening passion, and watch it still frequently today. The stylized action and violence was epic, and it made me think Zack Snyder would do great on Man of Steel (boy, was I wrong). But this sequel just looks weaker, like it’s just a cheap knock-off of 300 – which it very well could be. I’m not entirely sure what’s happening in that trailer, whereas 300 had a very clear purpose and story. I fear 300: Rise of an Empire is going to be a bit sub-plot heavy and muddled. But we’ll see.

Given that it was supposed to be based on Xerxes…which Frank Miller still hasn’t written (and probably never will) I’m not sure that a sequel highlighting super creepy Xerxes is going to pan out. The eight month kick back in release didn’t boost my confidence either. I have an image of me leaving the theater bellowing THIS. IS. MEIDOCRE!
I fear you may be right, sleeplessdave. And whoever that generic white guy soldier actor is that seemed to be the leader of the good guys, he is no Leonidas.
This! Is! Certain!
