Despite things having gone a little awry towards the end of the first film, we return to the fray to find that things are still on the up and up for Griffith and his Band of the Hawks as they prove themselves to be ever more invaluable to Midland and their quest to regain land and power. In the midst of this however, this second movie shifts away from Griffith to spend some time focusing upon female soldier Casca and the unique problems that she faces on the battlefield as a woman, complete with a little delving into her back story and her first meeting with Griffith. Truth be told, this part of film actually strips away far too much of Casca’s strong-willed character thanks to its constant portrayal of her here as a suffering woman in a man’s world where almost everybody sees her as either weak or a plaything outside of those immediately surrounding her.
