Even the poster features the number 300 as a blood splatter with a red tinted “wave of blood” in the background. There is probably a great story somewhere in the battle of Salamis, but it got lost in this spectacle of bloodletting. Xerxes and Artemisia send a huge navy to crush the upstart Greeks but find the task much more difficult than they imagined.
He even sells his soul to demonic forces to become a “god” king. Pushed by the female naval hero, Artemisia, the king’s son, Xerxes, swears revenge. In the process, Themistokles fires an arrow that kills the Persian king. The Greek commander Themistokles attacks the larger Persian forces immediately after they come ashore. The backdrop is the battle of Salamis between the Persians and the Greeks in 480 BC. Really surprising to me are all those good reviews all over the place, but I guess quality standards are just ridiculously low these days.300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE is 102 minutes of beheadings, amputations, and gut slicing, used as an opportunity to spurt, scatter, and spray cinematic blood. Typical Hollywood sell out of a creative original idea. While the visuals in the first movie seemed stylized and fresh, ROAE seems cheap, the 3D never really impresses (enough to justify it's use) and I had a hard time finishing the movie, partly because I couldn't believe how they could do this to the franchise.and how Zack Snyder is still part of this.I don't think he sleeps well these days. The story is unnecessary complicated but doesn't make much sense.
Rise of an Empire is a joke compared to the original and a huge let down for anybody who appreciates good (or even visually appealing) movies. How could you mess up a sequel to 300? The story of the first movie was simple and straight forward, yet jam packed with wit and beautiful details.and came along with a look that was fresh and sexy, very self assured and uncompromising. Reviewed by jo-185-56717 2 /10 Terribly stupid and pointless Next time actually make something worth watching. It was cheap, crude and not well thought out. The actors did the best they could with what they had, but writers and director, you owe the public an apology for this poor display of cinematic "genius". There are books out there on this point in history, historical fiction books that have stronger character development than this script. 300 Rise of an Empire was not worth the money I spent on it. It could have been beautiful and filled with the promise of something both hilarious and invigorating if the scene it referred to had not been so vulgar. This movie has a line in it "you fight harder than you f***" (Artemisia). But the way the director went about it only cheapened the experience. It was all about the blood and the guts and breasts. This Great War that united the Greeks was barely touched on. This new 300, "rise of an empire" was absolutely horrendous. The first 300 had catharsis, it had actual character development and made you want to keep going. I went to my local theater on March 7th which is also my birthday and I wanted to see the movie based on the performance of the first 300. This movie was absolutely a waste of my time and my money.
