Greek general Themistokles leads the charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.
After its victory over Leonidas' 300, the Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marches towards the major Greek city-states. The Democratic city of Athens, first on the path of Xerxes' army, bases its strength on its fleet, led by admiral Themistocles. Themistocles is forced to an unwilling alliance with the traditional rival of Athens, oligarchic Sparta whose might lies with its superior infantry troops. But Xerxes still reigns supreme in numbers over sea and land.
What a complete load. The historical inaccuracies in this film are so numerous, I just couldn't believe it. Yes the original 300 had some silly additions to the story, like Ephialtes being a deformed hunchback monster, the immortal warrior giant and so on. But the core of the story was actually not that far of from history. Xerxes invaded Greece and a coalition of Greek soldiers delayed him by making a final stand at Thermopylae. Frank Miller's graphic novel, very loosely based on Herodotus, was actually not that far off from history, or Hollywood history anyway. But 300: Rise of an Empire went far beyond the suspension of disbelief. I wasn't annoyed with the opening scene where Darius and his son Xerxes are present at the Battle of Marathon, you need to set up characters and motivations for why the later events happen, fine. But once the normal looking young Xerxes walks into the pool of magic CGI goo and emerges as a 7 foot giant, the movie lost me, that's the moment where the shark has been jumped. Why not just rename it "Clash of the Titans" and be done with it, and throw out all sense of historical accuracy. Persepolis was nowhere near that large, it looks like it spans miles and miles, but we know from archaeological digs that it was far more modest (Same goes for Oliver Stone's version of Babylon in 2004's rubbish Alexander film). But it doesn't end there. What's with the Persian indoor combat training scene near the beginning? The architecture looks closer to Chronicles of Riddick than Middle East 480 BC. And the ridiculously anachronistic warships in the film are laughable. They did not have anywhere near that level of technology for warships until the 1800s. Did anyone even do any research for this, whatsoever? And let's be frank, Sullivan Stapleton is no Gerard Butler, quite why Butler declined to be in the film is beyond me, given his bad choice of flops since the first film, I though he would have jumped at the chance, regardless of the probably small amount of screen time. Sure, I still would've hated the film, but Stapleton is a charisma-free vacuum. At least with Leonidas, there was a character that was fun, all Stapleton does is glower and grunt. The CGI blood looks fake, the rock music over the closing credits felt really out of place, Noam Murro has none of the style of Zack Snyder, basically the whole film is a mess. The only saving grace was Eva Green. Her sex scene was awesome, one star added...OK two stars added, one for each boob. What? the movie is shameless, so I can be too!
I saw "300: Rise of an Empire", starring Sullivan Stapleton-Strike Back_t.v., Gangster Squad; Eva Green-Dark Shadows_2012, Casino Royale_2006; Rodrigo Santoro-What to Expect When You're Expecting, Lost_t.v. and Lena Headey-The Purge, The Brothers Grimm.
When I first heard about this movie, I was wondering if it was going to be a sequel or a prequel. Well, it's actually both. It starts by showing how Rodrigo-the 10 foot tall giant bad guy from the first movie-became who he became, the Persian god king-he started out as a normal sized man. It shows Rodrigo marching on Greece after his epic battle with the Spartan 300-and there are a few scenes with Gerard from the original movie spliced in but there is no new footage. Sullivan plays the leader of a Greek naval fleet that tries to unite Greece against the invading Persian forces and Eva is Rodrigo's commander of the military-she knows how to hold her own in a fight and she can defeat almost any man. Lena has a small role-as the widow of Gerard from the first movie-but she does get to participate in the sword fighting as well. Most-but not all- of the battles are on ships at sea and they are all bloody. I think this movie is even more violent and bloody than the original. During fights, you will see arms, legs and even heads removed from their owners, with gallons of spraying blood and it looks pretty realistic. There is also nudity. There is one sex scene that is almost like a battle-ripping clothes, hitting, slinging each other across the room-and later, the girl tells the guy that he fights better than he makes love-she did not use those words, but you catch the drift. I heard the song, War Pigs by Black Sabbath when the end credits started and they left it wide open for another sequel. I saw it in IMAX 3D and it looked great. It's rated "R" for bloody violence, language and sexual content- including nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 42 minutes. I enjoyed this one and would buy it on Blu-Ray.
Other than for the pleasure of watching Green try to conquer ancient Greece dressed as a distant forebearer of Catwoman, more is less and a little late in this long-aborning sequel.
Events occurring after include Themistocles visit to Gorgo (where she is still mourning King Leonidas) and the Battle of Salamis.
The first battle that takes place in the 300: Rise of an Empire movie is the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. This happens ten years prior to the events in 2007's 300 movie. Athens victory over Persia at Marathon, Greece sets the stage for the motivations behind Xerxes's transformation into the movie's fictional God King.
The second battle that occurs in 300: Rise of an Empire, the Battle of Artemisium (a 480 BC naval engagement), took place concurrently with the Battle of Thermopylae that unfolds in the original movie, 300. It was Themistocles who proposed that the Greeks attempt to stop the Persian advance by confronting them on land at the narrow strait at Thermopylae. Leonidas and the 300 Spartans undertook the task, which is chronicled in the movie 300, with the Spartans eventually being overtaken by the Persian forces. At the same time, the Greek navy attempted to block the Persians on the water in the Straits of Artemisium. However, they were forced to retreat after the defeat at Thermopylae.
The third battle in Rise of an Empire, the Battle of Salamis, occurs after the Persians have advanced and burned Athens to the ground. Like in the movie, Themistocles had learned from the mistakes he made in the Battle of Artemisium, realizing that Greece likely did not stand a chance when confronting the larger Persian navy in the open water. He figured out that if the Greeks were to win, they would need to engage in close combat with the Persians in straits that were narrower, such as those at Salamis. There, the large Persian warships could be outmaneuvered by the smaller Greek ships. Returning characters include King Xerxes, Queen Gorgo, Ephialtes, Dilios, and the Persian Messenger. a5c7b9f00b
