Reviews & comments
Flicks, Dominic Corry
flicksMatthew Perry and Bruce Willis must've been stoked when this film was announced, because it immediately displaced The Whole Ten Yards as Hollywood's least-demanded sequel ever. Not helping the argument for 300: Rise of an Empire's existence is how influential the original has been, with the current marketplace seeing no shortage of imitators and retreads - Immortals; Clash/Wrath of the Titans; both upcoming Hercules movies; Noah. And with slow-mo fetishist Zack Snyder ceding the director's chair to Noam Murro, whose only previous movie was the low-key family dramedy Smart People, all signs did not point to awesome.
