Rodrigo Santoro spent 6 hours in the make-up chair every single day to morph into his character. This was due to Gerard Butler, who turned down to reprise his role as Leonidas, since it “wasn’t really thing”.
The original script featured King Leonidas from 300 (2006), but he was ultimately cut out. (Shan’t spoil the surprise)įans of the first film will most probably be disappointed with 300: Rise of An Empire, but I will still encourage you to watch the film for the plot, (or if you are interested in Greek history) but don’t expect too much for the rest.

She know how to make use of her charms, to entice her enemy, Themistocles, a tactic that has been used many times in the Chinese History. A friend said it was nonsensical, but I thought Artemesia was brilliant. Some people talked about the sex scene which drew the whole attention away from the battle.
Besides that, the sudden appearance of weird sea monsters left me feeling bizarre, how did those serpent-like monsters fit into the story? Was it to show off the 3D skills? With so many slow-motion effect, I wondered (more than once) if they had to do that to extend the film as it was too short. However, that were the only good points about the whole film. The flashbacks helped refresh the audience’s memory about the Spartan’s battle (And help me recognized the characters as the guys looked all the same to me), as well as provide a little back story for those who did not catch the first film. The fight between the mere farmers and the strong Persian troops were impressive. What I like about the film was the tactical battling between Themistocles and Artemesia. It felt like the Chinese version of Yang Male and Female Warriors. I was surprised how this film showed more girl power this time round, with Artemesia as the navy head of the Persian, and even Queen Gorgo coming to join the battle, avenging for her husband. It is the story that happened along-side with the story of 300. So when this film was out, I was thinking how could the film possibly continue with all the 300 guys dead? Vengence? Prequel? Surprisingly, 300: The Rise of An Empire is both prequel and sequel to “300”. To be truthful, the first movie was all but a blur to me, I forgot all about the plot, and all I could remember is lots of strong half-naked guys with nice looking abs, loads of roaring and fighting, and they somehow all died in the end.
The first movie 300 had been a hit with the audience, and when this movie was announced, many people who looking forward to it.
