300: Rise of an Empire	comment	300: Rise of an Empire is the film sequel to 300, directed by Noam Murro and written by Zack Snyder and Kurt Johnstad. It was released on March 7, 2014 after lingering seven years in Development Hell. It is based on Xerxes, the then-unpublished sequel to the 300 graphic novel (which would eventually be published in 2018), both written by Frank Miller for Dark Horse Comics. Junkie XL composed the soundtrack.It covers the Second Greco-Persian War in the aftermath of the battle of Thermopylae, with particular focus on Xerxes, his ally Queen Artemisia (Eva Green), the female commander of the humongous Persian fleet, and the naval battle of Salamis. It also introduces the Athenians, led by Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton), who, despite being outnumbered by the Persian fleet, employ various crafty tactics to stop it.Rodrigo Santoro, Lena Headey and David Wenham all reprise their roles from the first film.The trailer can be found here.

Whether these scenes are meant to be taken as a mere religious ceremony to inculcate him a new mindset or as a sign that he has really become a supernatural being (essentially a Goa'uld) remains unknown. Naturally, he seems to be convinced of the latter.

300: Rise of an Empire / int_4f84cdef	comment	Smug Snake: Artemisia is not nearly as clever as she thinks she is. Despite her manipulating Xerxes into becoming king and declaring war on Greece he actually is proven right at the end. If Artemisia had taken his advice and sent a probing force to make sure that Salamis wasn't a trap, the Persian navy wouldn't have been destroyed.

The relatively fully-armored Persian troops' gear is largely ineffective, which is justified, because they all wear light armor due to the style of warfare in Asia being different than the Greek style. On the other hand, while the Greeks go into battle with only helmets and bracers, both of these are actually used many times to deflect blows and arrows.

300: Rise of an Empire / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: The "Leonidas kick" returns. Themistocles gives much the same speech Leonidas did to the Thebians, noting that his forces weren't soldiers, but merchants and potters. Artemisia notes the emissary sent to the Spartans never returned. That same emissary is the one who first brought her to Darius. Themistocles' visit of Sparta is filled with small nods, which makes sense as the infamous "This Is Sparta" scene had just happened. Artemisia curses the Greek weather as the navy approaches the shore. In 300, this same weather sunk a good portion of the ships approaching the Hot Gates. Artemisia presents the severed heads of several kings to Darius, the same heads which would be used to threaten the Spartans. At one point, an Athenian calls the Spartans "muscle-bound boy-lovers".

300: Rise of an Empire / int_dae5c997	comment	Action Girl: Queen Gorgo shows she's able to kill multiple Persian warriors armed with her husband's sword, and wearing a gown to boot. Artemisia too, as she's the best fighter in Persia with a sword.

300: Rise of an Empire / int_e16217f8	comment	Historical Villain Upgrade: The Persian empire is on the receiving end of this again. Also It's doubtful that Queen Artemisia was this psychotic in real life where she just happened to be the queen of one of Xerxes's satraps who took his side in the Greco-Persian wars. Another mention must be made of King Darius I, who invades because of his hatred of Athenian freedoms, not because he was getting a mite sick of Athenian-sponsored revolts in his home town as per reality. Also, the Greeks themselves, who supposedly killed Darius when in reality they had nothing to do with his death of disease.

300: Rise of an Empire / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: The Immortals get modified masks and heavier armors in this film in contrast to the first one. Also, the film shows a maskless kind of Immortals which look like regular Persian humans and not disfigurated ninjas. In fact, the Persian forces contain no monsters of any kind. The Persians themselves actually look like they might be from Persia this time around, as opposed to the Africans and Indians of the first film.

300: Rise of an Empire / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: Artemisia as portrayed in the movie is a fusion between the historical Artemisia and the historical (male) Mardonius. It was Mardonius who acted as Darius' proud chief enforcer (and not Artemisia), Mardonius was the childhood friend and advisor of Xerxes (and not Artemisia), it was Mardonius who convinced Xerxes to invade Greece (though using less machievellian methods than Artemisia does in the movie), and Mardonius died while Artemisia did not in real life, while in the movie Artemisia dies..
