It enlightens the story of how Xerxes became god-king and what happened after Leonidas and the brave 300 were overrun by the Persian empire. The movie delivers just what was expected and convinces you with stunning visual effects and large scale combats as well as gigantic naval battles. (I watched it in 3D which isn't very necessary, aside from some fancy blood spatter effects.) It keeps the style of his prequel with slow-motion fight scenes, slow-motion stylistic devices for dramatic purposes and slow-motion shots on sweating six packs while epic speeches about death and honor are spoken. Might be too much over-the-top for some viewers, but if you liked the style of 300, you'll also like the atmosphere of this one. The story is quite predictable and doesn't offer mind-blowing twists and interpersonal drama that matches the level of Game of Thrones and such - but honestly, if you expect that, you don't know what you're about to watch. Compared to the sequel it is neither superior nor inferior, I think it just matches the quality of 300. The prequel had iconic characters like Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and Stelios (Michael Fassbender) who are more remarkable than Themistokles as protagonist is. Rise of an empire balances this with a very cool villain, Artemisia. In conclusion, 300 - Rise of an empire is a great action movie for everyone who loves epic battles with a lot of blood.
