As a huge fan of the movie 300 (2006), i have to say something about the sequel film, rise of an empire, i just have to! Finally had a chance to catch up with the movie after the school exam.
First of all here's a simple comparison of both movie.
Gerard Butler or Sullivan Stapleton ?
King leonidas or Themistocles ?
Fighting on land or Sea combat ?
Brawn or Brain ?
Spartans or Athens ?
Warrior at birth or Farmers and painters ?
Queen Gorgo or Artemisia ?
Both movie have the same bloody slow-mo kinda fighting sequence.
But does rise of an empire gives the same epic feel as the latter?
Queen Gorgo: Do not be coy or stupid, Persian. You can afford neither in Sparta!
Messenger: What makes this woman think she can speak among men?
Queen Gorgo: Because only Spartan women give birth to real men!
Queen Gorgo being Queen Gorgo, speaking like a true spartan lady.
Eva Green definitely showed versatility in acting here from acting as a bond girl alongside Daniel Craig in 007 Casino Royale, to a general leading the Persian army - Artemisia, goth/punk chick, greek by blood, persian at heart.
