If you wondered how these guys would manage to make a movie as good as the first one without Gerard Butler, rest assured they have made it even better... with the help of most unsuspected character - Eva Green!! After playing a damsel in distress in Casino Royale, her role as a Greek/Persian villain in this movie was a big surprise - and a hugely pleasant one!! If the first one was a success due to Butler, it won't be wrong to say that his persona is matched by Eva Green in part two... (Finding it hard to believe? Watch it to believe it!) :-)
Sullivan Stapleton (though a relatively unknown star) too plays a very convincing role as the Greek hero Themistocles...
However while it's first part got 7.8 rating on IMDB, this one has just managed 7 rating. But to all those who have yet to see the movie let me assure you that it is largely because people are missing Gerard Butler, and no way due to any lack in the movie itself.
The sequel has an equally gripping story, same way of cinematography, double the gore and action and great acting by the two protagonists.
So do keep aside your misgivings and watch it! you shall not be disappointed! ::-)
P.S. - If violence and blood is not what you like, it is best avoided... :-)
