Wonderful Movie

Pretty Good

Powerful

hyped garbage

The movie is exactly opposite of truths and history , super one sided battle scenes super terrible story line wants make greeks good people and hot as the persian commander has sex with a greek general, omg funniest joke in human history , i can say director even has personal problems with persians plus mental problems , if u know persians ladies will fight till their last breathes and in persian culture they never have good vision about foreigners , imagine now in a battle a persian women with that high skill and reputation even smiles on a greek lol i wanted to tell the director to visit change the movie genre to comedy and then i can say the movie is great.

I would like to start by saying that, despite the fact that I study at a school where we learn ancient Greek language and literature as a subject, my main complaints as for 300: Rise of an Empire are not the numerous historical inaccuracies that this movie has.The first 300 was one of those very interesting films which is adapted from a comic book. This allowed it to have a both visual and plot-wise guide in its original graphic novel. I loved 300, certainly not because of its gore, its nudity or anything of that, but because it attempted to bring to film the comic book as it was. And, if you ask me, it succeeded in bringing a visually wonderful story with well characterized characters. What my feeling was from seeing this film, was that those who worked on it didn't understand why 300 was so good. Intead of bringing a story written with Frank Miller's style, it had no clear plot, and definitely no ending. Next to this, R rated material such as gore, violence, nudity and profanity was brought to such an extent that the film had more in common with an exploitation movie than with the previous film. 300 had some R rated content, but as much as was needed for the film. I heard too many modern profanities and points of language which simply didn't fit the situation (300 had almost no language, on the other hand). Also, I've seen simply too many gory deaths and stabbings, throat slits, decapitations, mutilations and such, which weren't strictly required. Again, 300 had only that amount of this which was required for the plot.Next to this, there were almost no such iconic and visually appealing shots such as certain scenes of the previous film, and the imponency of Xerxes which was shown in 300 was undermined by the introduction of a new female villain who apparently doesn't have to obey to a god-king.While some of the combat was well shot, I think this film should have focused on one single battle, rather than showing a series of insignificant ones. This battle could have been the battle of Salamis, which, if portrayed more accurately (just as how 300 portrayed the battle at Thermopylae) could have provided a very intriguing situation that could have lasted half of the movie. Salamis was portrayed very untruthfully in this film.The abrupt ending was the worst thing. Whereas 300 provided a satisfying ending, Rise of an Empire has a more open one. Leaving an open ending the way this film does is simply meaningless.If you are to watch some sort of exploitation action film set in Greek era, you might not find these points as valid to downrate this film. 300, on the other hand, had next to some of those elements a higher quality, due to its closeness to the original Frank Miller Graphic Novel. Rise of an Empire was almost not based on Miller's Graphic Novel, but, in addition to that, didn't have much in common with its style as well, a style that would have granted it a higher artistic value as a film.

I am sorry for the casts and crews of this movie, who has no dignity and personal standard but only money!.I feel sad for those of you who has uprated this movie out of illiteracy, cause you didn't even heard about Will Durant, The Story of Civilization, or never went to London museum to see Cyrus charter of human rights, The first human right document in the world......I am sorry for the ArtSad

The first time you watch it, you may expect it to be like the first 300 movie. In fact, it is, but it's story line is developing in parallel with the first one, and is different.Because of some expectations, it's at the second watching that I've been really able to admire all the beauty and the perfection of this second story.Everything in this movie is perfect. The actors are fabulous, the costumes are beautiful, the soundtrack is marvellous, and all the work they put into the visual effects, make every shot a feast for the eyes.I mean, seriously, you could stop the movie at any frame and it would make a poster of it. It's how beautiful and perfect it is.So forget all the negative reviews, and watch it by yourself, and if possible, twice.
