    First one was mindless fun, FX were really impressive at the time. This looks good like more of the same, I'll check it out.

    The first one had "This. Is. Spartaaaa!!!" that was made famous. I wonder what this one will have.

    I get a chuckle out of the depiction of the Spartans as the upholders of freedom when the actual Spartans had no problems with keeping slaves and not too long after the Persian wars conquered and enslaved the Athenians.

    The beautiful justice loving white people vs the hideous deformed slave loving brown people.

    This movie gonna be lame. The Leonidas replacement is beta as f,u,ck. Xerxes gets all the camera and too much boat action.

    Zack Snyder isn't directing this one so maybe it'll be good.

    Today, no Spartan dies!

    We do what we were trained to do. What we were bred to do. What we were born to do. No prisoners. No mercy.

    Not going to see the movie. Not going to even watch the trailer.

    I'm sure some bros will ask me to go with them to see it after a night of UFC watching and Natural Light drinking, but I'll probably pass on that whole package.

    Maybe Cersei won't but Eva Green does with remarkable consistency.

    I chuckle when people get their panties in a knot complaining that a movie based on an ambitious comic book, based loosely on a historical event is not a 100% historically accurate narrative.

    Didn't care for the first.

    Probably won't see this one until it's on Netflix or hbogo.

    I enjoyed this movie, it was predictable, but the battle scenes were good.
    Eva Green also was the main attraction

    This movie was horrible compared to the first one.

    -Themistokles had puny muscles compared to Leonidas
    -CGI was really bad... especially the scene at beginning with all the spartans wrestling each other for training
    -Lena Hadley's mole grew a heck of a lot bigger
    -WTF moment when she led the Spartans into the battle at the end in a full on queen gown
    -Never got the epic feeling that the first 300 had to it
    -Choreography for fight scenes wasn't as good as first (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsKZl1QMXss#t=40)
    -Boring sea battles... except for the last one

    Only positives were Eva Green scenes and the backstory into Xerxes
