300: Rise of an Empire
I assume it's going to be about the Battle of Salamis. I mean, I guess there were a little over 300 ships there, but why turn this shit into a franchise when it's not?

Looks good enough that I'll make an effort to see it.

"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
It is..... eh.
It is hard to sum up.... generally, it takes place concurrently, and slightly after Leonidas is fighting and dies at the Hot Gates. But there is a lot of back story that gets filled in as flashback, as well.
But, this time we are watching the B-Team. We aren't watching the Spartans turn warfare into art, we are watching the scrubs. So it isn't as fun, in my opinion. Also, they laid off the stylized shit, which was what was half the awesomeness of the first movie. Some is there, just not as well done. It felt less cool because of it.
So. Meh.

I just watched this today too. Weird.
It was a cheap copy of the original. They couldn't match the style of the first movie.
Plus all the stuff Catt said.
