WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
After managing to defeat the army of 300 Spartans in the first movie, the Persian Army – as led by the ruthless Xerxes (Santoro) – marches toward the major Greek cities including Athens. After that city’s fleet, under the command of admiral Themistocles (Stapleton), increases its strength in preparation for the Persian revolt, Themistocles must form an unlikely alliance with its rival Sparta if it has any chance of defeating Xerxes and his army…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
We have even more CG (unintentional) homoeroticism to encounter in the world of Frank Miller’s 300 series, and plenty of stylised action to boot.
