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.
Greek general Themistokles leads the charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.
I'm not a fan of 300 but I am a fan of Frank Miller's graphic novels, which is the main reason why I chose to watch these movies.
Unlike other Frank Miller adaptations, 300 and its current sequel offer absolutely nothing to the viewer except 6-packs and gore. Sin City and even Wolverine depicted worlds, enclosed in their own rules.
Rise of an Empire draws upon history and manages to make a fool of itself. While anyone can agree that accuracy or factuality isn't and shouldn't be the purpose of a movie, the degree to which contemporary popular culture references and stereotypes find a place in something that should be connected to Ancient Greece is more than laughable: it just doesn't make sense.
Rise of an Empire is an evolution from the 6-pack sausage fest that was the original 300: they now bring into focus a pair of female strong characters who bear the name of historical heroes which are way more interesting than the bland, 2-dimensional creatures they portray in the movie.
Even worse, there's absolutely no reason for this movie to also be called '300'. The first time around it was a reference to the number of Spartans on the field of battle. Here it has no place at all. Replace '300' with anything else and it might make slightly more sense: 'Two Women: Rise of an Empire', 'Gorgo: Rise of an Empire', 'How Come a Tiny City Managed to Produce 100 times more ships than the rest of the city states in the area despite having a culture of war on land: Rise of an Empire'.
On the other hand the visual effects are quite amazing, although not groundbreaking, which is why I decided to give it a 3 instead of -1.
However, seeing it on the big screen remains an utter waste of time, I should've waited for the BluRay.
I loved the original 300 and hoped this one might come close, but sadly it did not. My biggest issue is that I was left confused about who I was supposed to cheer for. The original built a strong connection between Leonidas and Queen Gorgo and you knew the names of his top soldiers and why they followed him with such admiration and devotion. Not so Themistocles - he is underdeveloped as a character and didn't carry the screen presence required. On the other hand Artemesia is given so much of a valid reason for hating the Greeks that it is hard to fault her for fighting them, and she is a great kick-butt character. So the villain comes across more as the hero. They should have made it a battle between Gorgo and Artemisia and left Themistocles out of it. Best moments of the movie were the ones with the Spartans, but those were too brief.
The film belongs to Green — maybe the only actress ever to "graduate" from being a Bertolucci muse to a bloodthirsty action-flick dominatrix.
King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) only appears in flashbacks. Yes. Herodotus, also known as the "Father of History," makes numerous references to Artemisia as he recounts the events of the Greco-Persian war. He describes her as a ruler who did not lead passively, and instead, actively engaged herself in both adventure and warfare: "her brave spirit and manly daring sent her forth to the war, when no need required her to adventure. Her name, as I said, was Artemisia..." –The Histories Yes. In exploring the 300: Rise of an Empire true story, the works of Polyaenus, the 2nd century Macedonian writer, describes an example of the real Artemisia's intelligence in combat. He tells of how she would carry two flags on board her ship, one a Persian flag and the other the flag of her enemy, Greece. Artemisia would fly the Greek flag as she approached an unsuspecting Greek warship. Once she was upon her enemy, she would then unleash the full force of her Carian fleet. Yes. According to Herodotus, the united Greeks even offered a reward of 10,000 drachmas for Artemisia's capture. Yes. According to historians Herodotus and Plutarch, the brave Athenian general Themistocles was not born into wealth. His father, Neocles, was an ambiguous Athenian citizen of modest means. It is believed that his mother was an immigrant. Other children kept Themistocles at a distance. It didn't bother him much, because as other children were off playing together, Themistocles was studying and sharpening his skills. As described by Plutarch, his teachers would say to him, "You, my boy, will be nothing insignificant, but great one way or another, either for good or for evil." In researching the 300: Rise of an Empire true story, we learned that Themistocles' less than modest upbringing benefited him in the newly democratic government of Athens. He campaigned in the streets and could relate to the common and underprivileged in a way that no one had before, always taking time to remember voters' names. He was elected to the highest government office in Athens, Archon Eponymous, by the time he was thirty. (Source: History vs Hollywood.) No. The true story behind 300: Rise of an Empire reveals that Themistocles did not kill Xerxes's father, King Darius I of Persia (Darius the Great), with an arrow at the Battle of Marathon. King Darius died approximately four years later in 486 BC of failing health. It was then that Xerxes, the eldest son of Darius and Atossa, became King, ruling as Xerxes I. No. In the 300: Rise of an Empire movie, a young Artemisia (Caitlin Carmichael) watches as her family is murdered by a squad of Greek hoplites. She then spends several years being held as a sex slave in the bowels of a Greek slave ship. She is left to die in the street and is helped by a Persian warrior. She soon finds herself training with the finest warriors in the Persian Empire, hoping to one day exact revenge on Greece. This backstory for Artemisia was invented by Frank Miller and the filmmakers to explain the motivations behind Artemisia's ruthless thirst for vengeance in the film. Yes. Queen Artemisia of Caria, portrayed by Eva Green in the movie, became queen when she was wed to the King of Caria. Ancient Greek historian Herodotus never mentions the king by name in his writings titled The Histories. Little is known about Artemisia's husband except that he died when their son was still a boy. Following his death, Artemisia became the ruler of the affluent kingdom of Caria. Yes. Artemisia I of Caria had a son named Pisindelis (not shown in the movie), who was still a boy when his father died and his mother took over as ruler. Yes. According to the writings of Herodotus, Artemisia I of Caria was the only female commander in the Greco-Persian wars. Like in the movie, she was an ally of Xerxes and served as a commander in the Persian navy. Yes. Themistocles had sent a messenger to Xerxes, telling the Persian King that the Greeks intended to flee by ships that were harbored in the isthmus of Corinth. Unlike in the movie, that messenger was not Ephialtes of Trachis, the disfigured hunchback who had betrayed the Spartans at Thermopylae. The real Ephialtes, who was not a disfigured hunchback, escaped to Thessaly and the Greeks offered a reward for his death. Thinking that the Greek forces were scattered, weak, and intending to flee, Xerxes believed the messenger and sent in his navy for an easy victory. To his surprise, his ships encountered the full force of the Greek navy ready to engage in battle. Yes. In the movie, Themistocles tells Artemisia that his only family is the Greek fleet, which he has spent his entire life readying to battle her. According to the writings of Plutarch, the real Themistocles did have a wife, Archippe, with whom he had three sons: Archeptolis, Polyeuctus, and Cleophantes. He also had two older sons, Neocles and Diocles. In addition to his sons, Themistocles had five daughters that are mentioned by Plutarch, at least one of whom he had later during a second marriage. No. The 300: Rise of an Empire true story reveals that unlike what is shown in the movie, the real Artemisia did not die at the hands of Themistocles in the Battle of Salamis. She survived the battle and did not meet her fate while engaging in combat. While Artemisia I of Caria did not perish in battle, it is unclear how she actually died. One legend reported by Photios, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 858 to 867 and from 877 to 886, has Artemisia falling in love with a man named Dardanus. According to Photios, when Dardanus rejected her, Artemisia threw herself over the rocks of Leucas and was swallowed by the Aegean Sea. However, some historians argue that this action goes against her nature as a strong-willed conqueror. No, historically it is not true. a5c7b9f00b
