“Rise” manages to seamlessly flash back to what happens before, during, and after the events of the previous film. Snyder returns to the team not as director, but to write the script with Kurt Johnstad based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel “Xerxes.” This time, director Noam Murro continues the heated war stories between Greece and Persia.

The action takes us to the sea warfare between Greek general Themistokles of Athens (Sullivan Stapleton) and Persia’s commander, Artemisia (Eva Green), under the direct orders of King Xerxes of Persia (Rodrigo Santoro).Īs expected, “Rise” kicks off immediately with the familiar, graphic on-screen bloodshed and slow-motion fighting we’ve seen in “300.” Snyder’s “300” cinematography has also influenced films such as “The Legend of Hercules,” “Immortals,” and “Clash of the Titans,” which mimic the raw and faded tone.

“Rise of an Empire” depicts heated tensions after the Persian invasion of Greece. What does its sequel bring to the table? In three words: weapons, blood, and well, blood. The remnants of Zack Snyder’s “300,” which hit theaters in 2007, are the unforgettable Internet memes of Gerard Butler’s face, mid-scream, paired with his quote “This is Sparta!”įast forward to 2014.
