Sex scene, the only bright spot

The special effects of the first film are still fresh in my memory. The most impressive thing is the scene where the Spartan warrior breaks the arrow shaft with a spear after blocking the arrow. So the second part is out, so naturally we have to keep up. However, at the very beginning, the almost documentary narration made me realize that this is another film that tells a story with words rather than pictures. In other words, this is a second- or third-rate movie.

The masking of the characters in the movie is very obvious. For example, the young Greek warrior who was guarded by his father not long to go to the battlefield, when the two and the male protagonist appeared for the first time, this kind of "Son, you are still young, don't fight the battle of the adults." The dissuasion mode puts the death buff on the father properly. It is almost certain that the father will die in front of the son, and then the son will rise up. This mode will appear.

The plot depth is 0. After all, it is a movie that uses special effects to attract attention, and the plot is all clouds. There is no such noble topic as human nature or love.

In terms of special effects, this one is really hard to surpass because the first one is very good. Nothing particularly impressed me. Those scenes in the first part, for example, the wind blowing people's hair, bringing up the hem of the cloak; the tacit glances and small gestures exchange between the queen and the king; the wheat waves like flowing gold in the sun; A subtle slow motion, none of this in the second part.

Of course, there are still bright spots. The bed scene was great. After all, in the sex scene between the muscular male protagonist representing justice and the sexy and sultry villain killer/general, both sides are still power players. What more could you ask for in bed scenes?

ps: By the way, let's talk about the first part. Two noisy points:
1. To glorify Sparta as a guardian of freedom. Don't you know that Sparta's army is used to suppress slaves to maintain their slave rule. It's like saying that Hitler was the keeper of peace.
2. It is said that the Persians represent the fighting power of the whole of Asia. Dear you think too much. The forces of the Celestial Dynasty did not join at all. Think about the fact that the Huns who were overturned by the Han Dynasty were still able to kill Europe. If the army of the Celestial Dynasty also came at that time, there would be no such thing as Europe in the world.

Bottom line: The second part doesn't beat the first, but it's good enough to kill a boring night with beer and fried chicken.
