300 - rise of an empire (an epic fail?)

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
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.


Artemisia
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.
