Director: Noam Murro
Cast: David Wenham , Rodrigo Santoro , Lena Headey , Eva Green , Sullivan Stapleton , Callan Mulvey , Jack O'Connell , Hans Matheson
Plot: Noam Murro directs this prequel and sequel to the 2007 film "300", Zack Snyder's fictionalized retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae, where King Leonidas leads 300 Spartans into battle against Persian "God King" Xerxes and his army of more than one million soldiers. The film covers the Battle of Artemisia (a possible reference to the Battle of Salamis or the Battle of Artemisium which was concurrent with the battle at Thermopylae) was fought between an alliance of Greek city-states and the Persian Empire in September 480 BC, in the straits between the mainland and Salamis, an island in the Saronic Gulf near Athens. It marked the high point of the second Persian invasion of Greece which had begun in 480 BC. It will also cover some of Xerxes' backstory, explaining how he became the "God King".
My Movie Review: The movie is astonishing, less epic than the first one but I still like it. 300: Rise Of An Empire makes me understand more what happened before and after the last scene in 300. I like the battles but I don't know why they always set in the seas. 300 men never fails to show their abs and the enemies look good too like Rodrigo Santoro and Eva Green. The movie felt like short version of the 300 and the ending felt short as well.
My Favorite Lines: "It begins as a whisper, a promise, the lightest of breezes dances above the death cries of 300 men. That breeze became a wind. A wind that my brothers have sacrificed. A wind of freedom, a wind of justice, a wind of vengeance." "Nothing will stop the march of my empire!"
