[Movie] 300: Rise of an Empire
So this movie takes place after the battle of Thermopylae, the death of King Leonidas, and during the reign of Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey). The deceased King Leonidas only slowed down the Persian army from marching all over Greece, so the threat of invasion still loom over Sparta and Athens.
Its true that sex and violence does sells. And this movie right here have the both of them, by depicting a whole lot of bloodbath, raping, and pillaging. I know that this movie receives mixed reviews, where some would enjoy this movie, while others like me won't enjoy it much. The reason was that, for me personally, I watched it because of the Spartan theme where I expected to see some Spartans to do some blood spilling, not boning. If I wanted to watch that, I would have rented a porn video.
