Zach Snyder's '300' back in 2006 was a guilty pleasure, a flash CGI blood and guts, and this sequel doesn't disappoint in the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' rule. The plot? umm, the Persians are at war with the Greeks, not sure why, don't really care, what we're here for is blood and guts, and it's maxed up it all it's all it's mad surreal PS4 slo-mo style CGI, arms, head's are lopped off, we get rivers of blood (literally).
The dialogue is as inane and inconsequential as you would expect ('Game Of Thrones' fans will probably lap it up) the characters dull as ditch water...except for one, Eva Green as Artemisia, the leader of the Persian army, the sexiest bad ass you could wish for, a mad mix of certificate 18 Walt Disney villain crossed with a 70's Hammer horror villainess, she oozes evil and screen presence, and I can't wait to see her in 'Sin City 2' later this year. It all ends in a rousing speech, proceeded by a massive scrap, it's all very silly, but bloody good fun.
