300: Rise of an Empire is set partly during the events of the original movie and mostly after the stand of King Leonidis. It is centered around Themistocles (played by Sullivan Stapleton probably best known for the series Blindspot and Strike Back) and tells a fictionalized version of the Battle of Artemisium and the Battle of Salamis, in which the Greek and Persian Navies did battle. The Persian navy is commanded by Artemisia (played by Eva Green of Casino Royale and Penny Dreadful). Lena Headey, Peter Mensah, David Wenham, Andrew Tiernan, Andrew Pleavin, and Rodrigo Santoro all reprise their roles from the first film. Heady as Queen Gorgo has a larger role in this movie than she did in 300, and Rodrigo Santoro as King Xerxes is more involved in this movie (meaning less of a background character) than he was in the first one. For those who get the Blu-Ray, the A/V quality is outstanding and there are quite a few extras. Those include about 35 minutes worth of making-of material (broken up into four featurettes), a 20-minute documentary on the real historical figures, and a short featurette on the actor's training regimen to prepare for filming the movie. As the first movie was, this one is very violent with a lot of over-the-top dismemberment and killing. It uses a lot of slow-motion action, which does get a bit irritating sometimes. There is also quite a bit of sex and nudity, mostly involving Green. Of course, it is not a documentary so it does take liberty with, and embellishes real-life events. So, the movie is not going to give you a true history lesson, nor does it try to. It is just meant to be a blockbuster action movie that is loosely based on something that happened in history. The writing is okay, but the overall story is not as good as it was in the original movie, and the acting is good. Green is really the standout as Artemisia playing her as a ruthless and cunning warrior who counts on men to underestimate her. While I cannot say that everyone, even people who really liked the first movie, will love this, if you are a fan of action movies and do not try to overanalyze it, it is enjoyable.

The original is better, but this shows how Athens came to fight with Sparta after the 300 fell against Persia to defend Greece

A heap of bodies only partially explains the seven-year wait for a follow to 300, Zack Snyder’s ancient Greek affair in which Gerard Butler and 299 beefcake bros nakedly took on multitudinous Persians with only their swords and sweat. Butler’s Spartan King Leonidas and his men achieved “a beautiful victory” — not to mention great box office — but sadly lost their heads. A prequel seemed the obvious path, but then Butler went sitcom soft and Snyder opted for stories of super dudes in leotards. So the mere existence of 300: Rise of an Empire is worthy of note, especially the inventive means by which the story has been advanced. Neither prequel nor sequel (maybe we should call it equal), it looks at the other Greeks versus Persians clash that was happening around the same ancient time as 300’s Battle of Thermopylae. As any history book (or Google) will tell you, this is the aquatic skirmish on the Aegean Sea. The Greeks are once against vastly outnumbered by invading Persians, and here we meet the secret weapon of Rise of an Empire: women. This highly stylized account, drawn as before from a graphic novel by Frank Miller but under the direction this time of Israel’s Noam Murro, has a vibrant lead in Eva Green, best known as Bond girl Vesper Lynd from Casino Royale. As Artemisia, commander of the Persian navy, she dresses Goth but acts Amazon. To say she takes no prisoners is like saying Godzilla doesn’t have a calling card. Presented with an unworthy male, she summarily beheads him, theatrically kisses the severed noggin and then flings it contemptuously away. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially one packing two lethal blades. And although Artemisia is of Greek blood, she’s seeking payback against her countrymen for the raping and pillaging visited upon her family and town in her childhood, and for the killing of Persian King Darius (Igal Naor), the man who rescued her and trained her as a warrior. Darius took a fatal arrow fired by the Greek warrior Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton), an event so important to the movie, Murro shows us the flashback twice, in case we missed the point. (Snyder and his 300 co-writer Kurt Johnstad penned the screenplay.) As fate would have it, Themistokles now leads the Greek naval resistance against Persia, and Artemisia aims to seduce, corrupt and kill him, not necessarily in that order. And she’s great, giving Rise of an Empire some badly needed energy beyond the endless grunting and sepia-toned blood-spilling of the rest of the picture, which does manage to make good use of widescreen 3D. Heads split, breasts bulge, bodies slam and ships collide with authority. The estrogen-enriched production also includes the return of Game of Thrones’ Lena Headey as Spartan Queen Gorgo, aggrieved widow of Leonidas, who also swings a mean knife but gets considerably less screen time than Green. Together they help make up for the absence of Butler, who is seen only in flashback, and for Stapleton’s serviceable yet unmemorable portrayal of the top Greek seaman. Making even less of an impression, apart from a sartorial one, is Rodrigo Santoro as returning god-man Xerxes, the heavily pierced peacock who watches the action mainly from the sidelines while Artemisia does the heavy lifting. We do get to see how he became a god while visiting a spa, but it inspires snickers rather than shudders. None of the men in Rise of an Empire are a match for Artemisia’s tongue, which is sharper than her twin blades. Given the choice between hearing her withering assessment of your sexual prowess, or having her shove a sword into your guts, you might just go for the sword. Ouch!

300 Rise Of An Empire was the follow up to the highly successful film 300. This film is about the Battle of Artemisium and the Battle of Salamis and pits the Athenians led by Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) against the Persians whose army was led by Artemisia (Eva Green) in two giant naval engagements. She is the main positive of the film. On the negative side the action and story just aren’t as compelling as 300 and the Orientalism was still there as well. Artemisia is portrayed as completely ruthless and the power behind Xerxes. Green just does a great job with her role and she’s the most compelling character. It’s good to see a female villain in such a film. The movie had the same stylized look as 300. All the lighting was replaced with effects. There were slow motion sequences to highlight the violence. The problems started with the battles. For some reason they created CGI boats that had no sides on the deck. Meaning there were sides to the boats for the oarsmen, but for the fighters on the top it was a flat deck with no walls around them. That meant a big wave could just wash every fighter off the boat and into the ocean. It made no sense. Then they had the Greek ships ram the Persian ones over and over in the first engagement. Again, there’s nothing to stop all the Greek fighters from being thrown off the top of the boats because there were no walls to stop them. Orientalism was the basis for the story once again. Orientalism is the European view that the West is civilized and the East is backwards. Thus the Greeks are portrayed as a free and democratic people while the Persians are oppressive and sadistic. All the oarsmen on the Persian ships for instance are slaves. They have closeups of the chains on their wrists and the men that whip them to make them row faster. Thermistokles on the other hand gives a speech about how the Persian should fear the freedom of the Athenians. The fact that the vast majority of Athens were slaves is never mentioned because that would defy the image of the birthplace of democracy. Finally, the conflict between the two sides isn’t as compelling as 300. There’s nothing really special about Thermistokles and as mentioned before Artemisia is much more interesting. You can’t have a competition when only one side is any good. Overall, Artemisia is great. There are some good battle scenes but overall it just pales in comparison to 300.

This review will actually cover both "300" movies because they are really companion films; almost sequential stories. Beautifully photographed, terrific cast and lots and lots of blood splattering gore. If one is a historical nut of ancient history and lore one should really like these films if one can look past the awful errors in the stories (intentional I think). in 3OO there is no mention of the fact that Sparta had two Kings; one stayed in Sparta to control the population that was essentially slaves, even the free ones. Sparta was a police state with a citizen body of at best 50,000. The rest of the population of several hundred thousand were disenfranchised serfs in effect, and could be killed without punishment by the authorities. Not a pleasant country to live in. The second King Leonidas led the army as portrayed in the film. And he was killed at the Hot Gates as shown in the movie. But hearing the Spartans talk about Freedom is like Stalin talking about love. They did heroically stop the Persians for a spell at the Hot Gates temporarily though the Persians finally moved on after the 300 and some other Greeks were dead. Athens was later burned to the ground. What bothered me the most is the way the Persians were portrayed in the first film. Persians are Indo-Europeans closely related to the Europeans. The name IRAN means Aryan, what Indo-Euros used to be called until you-know-who misused the name. The first film seemed to suggest that the Persians were of various races and they were not; the second 300 seemed to have corrected that issue. In the second film, history goes haywire in the stories. I know of no Artemisia and Xerxes looked like an escapee from a leather bar in Greenwich village (also in the first film). The movie tries to explain His Weirdness away due to the murder-death of his father King Darius. All Persian Kings had beards; probably a religious thing. Now the portrayal of Thermistolkes (?) or as I will call him from now on as THERMI, was accurately portrayed as least reasonably well. Very Well done. And the sea battles were spectacular though probably way over played; Still I liked it all. except for the nonsense of the big iron ship full of oil. Did the ancients know of Texas "T" back then? No way could the ancients cast large Iron plates for the ship much less make it float!! Still perhaps I am forgetting these films were not intended to be exact, just entertaining and I found them, especially the first one to be first rate even with the silly nonsenses. The Spartans uniforms were pretty accurate except they always wore breast plates and not speedos. But most of the costuming of the actors and actresses was very accurate (except for Xerxes!!!) and Sparta was shown exactly how it probably looked back then; very simple and plain..rather boring! By the way, I would love to exile Dr Sweets and Daisy to Sparta! When I first saw the second 300 I wasn't I liked it, but I got the DVD from Amazon and in my quiet little room relaxed and watched it again. I decided now to get the 3D version (Amazon). I would liked to have a bit more at the end of the film, but I can live with the way it ended. I do recommend it for Greek-Roman buffs. I gave it four stars, would have been five if Xerxes had been portrayed more "normally". enjoy!

300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE is a frustrating, but fitfully entertaining companion piece to 300. I say companion piece, because the events of this film take place before, during and after the events of 300. As such, this movie can't really stand on its own and suffers by comparison to the original, which was a much-better-told story. To put it another way, this movie is essentially the same underdog story as the first, only transplanted to the sea. A few characters from the previous film are carried over, and even those that aren't have analogues in this one. The plot revolves around Themistocles and Artemisia, who represent Athens and the Persian empire, respectively. Themistocles is a legendary warrior who reportedly killed Darius at the battle of Marathon, and Artemisia is a Greek woman who was rescued by the Persians and rose to command their navy. Their dynamic is what is supposed to drive the movie, and it largely fails to do so, with the exception of a hilarious sex scene which takes place midway through the film. These two try their best, but they are largely unable to make up for the absence of Gerard Butler here, creating a sort of charisma vacuum. Where the original was kind of tongue-in-cheek when it came to the jingoistic and ham-handed dialogue, this one takes it mostly seriously. Not only content to suck the joy out of the ridiculousness of seeing perfectly ripped men kill the mess out of each other, the early battle sequences are oppressive and borderline repulsive in the level of digital blood and gore on display, as if increasingly stylized violence could make up for the lack of investment in the story. Granted, the visuals are impressive, and an improvement over the original, but it just felt soulless and empty. There was also overuse of slow motion, and 10-15 minutes could have been shaved off if they'd shown most of the battle sequences at normal speed. The only sequence which I was truly interested in was the final one, and by then it was a little late to make me care in what was happening onscreen. As far as acting is concerned, nobody really gave a bad performance, but nobody was really that great either. Eva Green was the standout, and did a good job of chewing the scenery, but she never really let loose until she meets face-to-face with Sullivan Stapleton's Themistocles. There was also some palpable energy with her performance in the final moments of the film. Returning from the original film are Lena Headey as Queen Gorgo, and Rodrigro Santoro as Xerxes. However, Lena Headey is relegated to being the "Queen of Exposition" and narrator for most of the running time, while Xerxes is largely absent due to his being occupied with the Spartans at Thermopylae. Still, they are each given a moment where they can shine. On a technical level, the film is incredible. There was an incredible level of detail, mostly augmented by CGI, but still beautiful to look at nonetheless. The battle sequences, this time involving ships, were also well-filmed and easy to follow. The only negative I can draw here is, again, the overuse of digital blood. There was a lot in the original 300, but there's fountains and geysers of it here, almost to the point of nausea. On the other side, a positive I can find was the score, which hit all the right beats and fit the movie quite well. I also liked the use of "War Pigs" in the closing credits, which was also used for one of the promotional trailers. Overall, the film more than a mite disappointing, given my affection for what preceded it. The story largely failed to be engaging, and often felt like a rehash, and it tried to compensate for that with even more outlandish and stylized violence, to the point where I felt like it glamorized it. Still, as visual spectacle, it was second to none. Would I recommend it? No. There simply isn't enough going on to warrant spending your money, and when it finally kicks into gear in the final act, it's a little too late.

This was listed as a "region free" disc, but still plays perfectly fine on my American 3D/Blu-ray/DVD player, and my player wasn't modified to play region free discs either. The 3D effects weren't bad, which was the best part of the movie, and definitely not the movie itself. The other Blu-ray disc also worked fine, which had some extra behind the scenes making of the movie. Like many of you, I've seen the first movie "300" starring Gerard Butler many times and loved it, which centered around the heroic King Leonidas and his brave 300 Spartans fighting at the Hot Gates against the evil invading hoards of Persians. This sequel is quite disappointing. It seemed more unnecessarily gory, with much of the movie filmed in a darker light, probably to hide all the CGI effects, such as the ocean and waves that were all CGI. And the scenes with the Greek general fighting on horseback, with he and his horse jumping on one ship to another was ridiculous. King Leonidas's wife along with the evil woman fighting for the Persians give us some unintentional chuckles, as they were weak looking fighting against big muscular battle proven men with swords which looked really unbelievably hokey and farfetched. And the profane dialog was way out of place with the time period, with some F-bombs and Leonidas's wife Gorgo disrespectfully greeting the Greek general by asking if he was there to stroke his c***, or something perverted like that. It was a totally stupid profane thing to say. So I generously rated this movie three stars, just for the 3D effects alone. The movie itself was quite a disappointment (2 stars at most), and really not worth buying. I'll stick with watching the first one, "300", or the original classic movie "The 300 Spartans" starring Richard Egan.

Because of the complicated effects involved in making Xerxes a 10 foot giant, Rodrigo Santoro filmed almost all of his scenes alone in a green-screen room and had little/no interaction with the rest of the cast. He said it was difficult but he got used to it as he had also done it on the first film.
The Greek soldier considered the "Hero of Marathon" was Miltiades, not Themistocles. Themistocles was the main General of the Greeks in the Battle of Salamina.
