I have no doubt that catching the ouchy end of a spear with your abdomen can be disquieting, or that it may be unpleasant to be thrown into the drink as your flaming ship is reduced to toothpicks. In “300: Rise of an Empire,” though, all of this looks like a jolly good time, which is why the film works as a high-tech boy-fantasy successor to “Conan the Barbarian.”

Taking place concurrently with “300,” in which Spartans broke off from other Greeks to get massacred by Persians, this one finds the Persian navy being led by the deliciously diabolical Artemesia (Eva Green).(Download 300: Rise of an Empire) She’s an ethnic Greek who, having been kidnapped and raped in battle, was raised by Persians to become a sword-wielding warrior, and rose to become the power behind the throne of Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro).
Her opposite number, in a loincloth and blue cape, is Themistokles, the Greek freedom fighter who seeks to unite the various democratic states into one great anti-Persian fighting machine but is rebuffed by the surviving Spartan queen (Lena Headey). Sparta seems kind of like Texas: You wouldn’t want to fight a war without them,(Download 300: Rise of an Empire) but they’d want to run everything their way and probably make you listen to country music, in which case maybe you’d rather just go ahead and die a beautiful death.Green rules the picture with her nutty stare and her willingness to get nasty in a hot sex scene, but the movie’s main weak point is the Greek general Themistokles.
He’s played by Sullivan Stapleton, a man not fit to wash Gerard Butler’s loincloth (just as Butler isn’t fit to carry Russell Crowe’s). With his pretty-boy eyes, he seems like the kind of guy you’d meet at the salad bar wearing a fisherman’s sweater. The lunatic blood lust you need in a mythic war hero isn’t there,(Download 300: Rise of an Empire) nor in the eyes of any of his interchangeable brothers in arms.Out-performing them all is the blood, thick as 10W-40, spewing in globs and blasts. It isn’t remotely disturbing, because it’s so stylized and comic book-ish. The gore in the PG-13 “Son of God,” which was meant to hurt and did, was far more disturbing.
In “300: Rise of an Empire,” snicking the head off an underperforming officer in your navy seems like no more than routine disciplinary action. Tough love. Like Lou Gossett Jr. making Richard Gere do push-ups in the rain. Going to the trouble of cleaving a friend’s neck in twain is just another way of showing you care.(Download 300: Rise of an Empire) All those limb-choppings and neck-severings accompany half a dozen boffo action set pieces. For instance: Guy in flames falls through a jet of oil which he turns into a massive blowtorch. Wreckage, men and arms all fall into the sea and turn it into a giant churning chowder of despair. Then: sea monsters.
OK, there isn’t a lot of seriousness here, and the relentless attempts to coin a new battle-cry catchphrase do approach self-parody. But why fight it? This isn’t Sparta.Proving the old adage that those who cough up 10 bucks to see history are doomed to repeat it, we now get a sequel of sorts to Zack Snyder's razzle-dazzle Spartan bloodfest, 300. I wasn't a huge fan of the original.(Download 300: Rise of an Empire) It felt like a Joe Weider bodybuilding magazine turned into an ultraviolent videogame. But the film's visual artistry was undeniable. In 300: Rise of an Empire, director Noam Murro uses 3-D to up the wow factor even further.
There's so much crimson gore flying off the screen you feel as if you should be wearing a tarp like the folks in the front row of a Gallagher show. Xerxes, the pierced and waxy-smooth Persian king played by Rodrigo Santoro, (Download 300: Rise of an Empire) is out to avenge the death of his father at the hands of strapping Athenian he-man Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton). Egged on by his sultry adviser Artemisia (Eva Green), Xerxes and his men square off against the outnumbered Greek forces — this time on the high seas. The Aegean setting is a nice excuse to stage clever naval gambits that turn into slo-mo orgies of impaling and limb-hacking.
But really, the film belongs to Green — maybe the only actress ever to "graduate" from being a Bertolucci muse to a bloodthirsty action-flick dominatrix. With her raven hair, smoky voice, and leather fetish wear, she gooses the repetitive carnage into something deliciously sinister.(Download 300: Rise of an Empire) In the movie's best scene, she and her enemy Themistokles turn a discussion of surrender into a rough-sex brawl. Henry Kissinger she's not."300: Rise of an Empire" will be no surprise in delivery other than it is possibly better than the first? There will, still, be fight scenes reminiscent of flawless dance moves, and the great choreography is what lends the film to being a great 'dance' movie.
The difference in approach comparatively between the two films would be the perverse nature of the second's delivery of the story at hand.(Download 300: Rise of an Empire) The first had a far more romantic predisposition.The story is more or less the same - Persians are descending onto Greece and taking over. The epicenter for the second take on the Persian take over is Athens and its people. The men are not as perfectly ripped as the Spartans. The soldiers are made up of various sized men (but there's still a great amount of shiny muscle) and not nearly as romantic in appearance as the perfect Spartans.
(Download 300: Rise of an Empire) The sex scene is more sadomasochistic and less love making. The passion between "King Leonidas" and his queen in "300" is filled with affection and attachment whereas the scene in "300: Rise of an Empire" is riddled with force, power and control. The sexual tension in both scenes are similar in sexual tension but both portray a very different tone, one more romantic than the other.The lighting is impeccable and the story lent well to the way in which the 3D was utilized. Instead of aspects 'popping' out at you they seemed to go deep.The landscapes had so much depth that it was hard not to make the correlation between the depth "300: Rise of an Empire" was reaching to in terms of the Persian take over.(Download 300: Rise of an Empire) As it was not the next installment of "300" but more insight into the original story, as the story goes deeper than Sparta and the army of 300.
300: Rise of an Empire Movie Watch Online
Eva Green is outrageously good and compelling to watch and to some degree is the "Leonidas" of "Rise of an Empire". Not to say that Sullivan Stapelton was overshadowed but his role was more meticulous and thought out, very much like the Queen in "300". The two pull the opposite sides of a war story firmly together.(Watch 300: Rise of an Empire Online DVDrip Quality) Not to mention how smoking hot both of them are.Like the first, "Rise of an Empire" is undoubtedly clothed in beauty, from the moonlighting to the muscled bodies, the supple breasts to the eloquent sprays of blood, the film is about an aesthetic which is part of the story. Is it masking a lack of story? definitely not, it is the story.
