300: Rise of an Empire (2014)

Can anybody ever get the facts correct

[23 May 2014]

Luckily they list this movie as a fantasy, but when you use characters from historical record I feel you do history an injustice. The movie does not even rate a B movie status and mocks all the historical records. This event in history stands alone and would have made a perfect script for a sequel to 300. Let history stand on its own and if you wish to make a fantasy movie make up all the characters and actually try to write something original.

I you can rent this movie at Red Box for a dollar and have nothing to do go ahead and watch it but otherwise do not waste your money or your time.

When Soldiers Cry (2010)

Horrible

[1/10 · 4 May 2014]

This has to be by far the worse movie of my life time, not authentic in any way shape or form, wrong uniforms, carrying fake guns used for high school honor guard, terrible, did I say terrible acting and directing. Save yourself some time and run now. I have seen high school kids with a camera put out better stuff goofing around. As a member of the military they could at least get the setting, uniforms and equipment right. How anybody can put this out and call this a movie is beyond me. Why netflex or anybody would even list this as a movie baffles the mind. No true plot to boot, just rambles on with no reason to it. I should have been paid for my time just watching this unfortunate piece of work someone tried to pass off as a movie.
