In 2007, the movie world was introduce to 300. Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 was turned into a visually intoxicating action film about the 300 Spartans against the Persian Army. The film made moviegoers into fans and has had many screaming “This Is Sparta” for years. While the movie was successful, the idea of a second film seemed all but questionable. However, after much some down time, 300 would charge into theaters again in 300: Rise of An Empire. This continuation to 300 is quite unique because it is not a sequel, or a prequel; nor is it a interquel. Rise of An Empire is in fact all of the above; making it a quel. Despite being a unique case, can Rise of An Empire live up to the name 300? Is this film a quel worth seeing?
