Do not forget who put the crown on your childish head.

300: Rise of an Empire - .5/5

Did you know this movie cost over $100,000,000 to make? That's hilarious. 

I watched this movie by accident when the Greek tour guide, showing us the Thermopylae pass, wanted to expose us also to the historical and emotional context of the battle of 300 Spartans using the power of cinema; only he bought the wrong movie and so showed a brutally violent and explicitly sexual movie to a group of aging church-goers. ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯ An even worse imitation of a rotting fruit; Zack Snyder's grunt-rock aesthetic gets even uglier, even stupider, and—the anecdote at top notwithstanding—somehow even cheaper.
