After the performance and the storyline of the first film, I had very little belief that the sequel (ish) would make any lasting impact. After watching, my initial thoughts were totally contradicted, not only because of the stunning performance of Eva Green, but the development and pace of the story was upbeat and breathtaking. Even though there was no 'edge of your seat' moments, the stylised violence, some-what comedic love scenes and the unpredictability of the end out done the first film. Commenting on what I briefly said before, Eva Green not only made me despise powerful people of that time, but I felt sort of sympathy for her character based on her loyalty to her country no matter what deep feelings she suppresses into her early damaged soul (even though she has no problem with manipulation- as seen in a few of her other films)
I would definitely recommend this film for any Spartacus lovers, or anyone who likes to watch an original, stylised movie that makes you think back to the original- whilst adding to the knowledge of that era. Stunning visually and based on the storyline!
