300: Rise of an Empire is a 2014 successor to Zack Snyder's legendary 2006 testosterone movie 300, about the stand made against the Persian army by Leonidas and his Spartans. This time the focus is on the sea, where the Athens navy faces off with the mighty Persian fleet. And the movie didn't turn out too well, because it flopped pretty badly at the box office compared to the predecessor and thus got the whole series of 300 movies cancelled. Bye bye 300: American Revolutionary war. And the biggest issue about Rise of an Empire could be that it fails to follow the rules of the series established by the first movie. So today, let's investigate the importance of rules in a series, and how Rise of an Empire fails to live up to 300 and got the whole franchise cancelled.

300: Rise of an Empire (2014)
Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) assembles his troops to fend off an invading Persian army led by the immortal Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and the vindictive Persian navy commander Artemisia (Eva Green) in this sequel to 300 based on the graphic novel Xerses by Frank Miller. In the wake of the Persians' victory over King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans, the God King Xerxes (Santoro) appears poised to conquer Greece. As the ruthless Artemisia (Eva Green) assembles a massive fleet of ships and sets sail for conquest, Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) strives to rally his countrymen to fight for freedom, and he manages to gain the upper hand over the invaders by confronting them at sea. Meanwhile, Leonidas' former advisor and wife Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) is reluctant to sacrifice any more Spartans in a fight that appears to be unwinnable. When the Greeks enjoy an early victory over Artemisia and her soldiers, however, it appears that Themistokles' unconventional tactics are more effective than the Persian Empire's formidable 300 Rise of an empire only action best scenes everything wrong with 300 rise of an empire honest trailers bad movie great movie 300 sequel 300 3 third movie zack snyder why did rise of an empire fail flop box office flop rise of an empire best moments fight battle 300 fight scenes brawn. But later, after Artemisia's attempt to seduce Themistokles to her side proves unsuccessful, the spurned naval commander deals a devastating blow to her Greek opponents. In the aftermath of that skirmish, Themistokles is presumed dead and Athens falls. The Persian Empire seems on the verge of victory, though when Xerxes and Artemisia learn that Themistokles lives, they realize the fight won't be over until he takes his final breath.

300 (2006)
Sin City author Frank Miller's sweeping take on the historic Battle of Thermopylae comes to the screen courtesy of Dawn of the Dead director Zack Snyder. Gerard Butler stars as Spartan King Leonidas and Lena Headey plays Queen Gorgo. The massive army of the Persian Empire is sweeping across the globe, crushing every force that dares stand in its path. When a Persian envoy arrives in Sparta offering King Leonidas power over all of Greece if he will only bow to the will of the all powerful Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), the strong-willed leader assembles a small army comprised of his empire's best fighters and marches off to battle. Though they have virtually no hope of defeating Xerxes' intimidating battalion, Leonidas' men soldier on, intent on letting it be known they will bow to no man but their king. Meanwhile, back in Sparta, the loyal Queen Gorgo attempts to convince both the skeptical council and the devious Theron (Dominic West) to send more troops despite the fact that many view Leonidas' unsanctioned war march as a serious transgression. As Xerxes' fearsome "immortals" draw near, a few noble Greeks vow to assist the Spartans on the battlefield. When King Leonidas and his 300 Spartan warriors fell to the overwhelming Persian army at the Battle of Thermopylae, the fearless actions of the noble fighters inspired all of Greece to stand up against their Persian enemy and wage the battle that would ultimately give birth to the modern concept of democracy.~Jason Buchanan

The frustrating thing about the bland hero in this movie is that the real life Themistocles was quite the trickster character with lots of plots and gambits. He even pretended to defect in order to lure the Persians into the battle of Salamis. If Leonidas was like Achilles, than Themistocles was Odysseus.

Leonidas was like Achilles? I don't think so; Leonidas didn't sulk in his tent because he was denied Potential Sex Slave #113. Leonidas was probably more akin to Hector, a doomed moral victor valiantly defending his home, family and way of life, or perhaps Diomedes, who would take on near-impossible missions using equal parts cold intelligence and berserker rage.

@@32shumble It's hard to get invested when all you are told is "these are the good guys, those are the bad guys". Things need context or else there are no relatable stakes to captivate the audience. 300 took time to establish the stakes, what they were fighting for and where; Rise of an Empire didn't. For all you know most sea battles in the movie were fought somewhere in the open sea when reality is they were fought in many different key strategical places along the coast that prevented the persians from landing behind Leonidas's back during the events of 300. That's pretty important context if you ask me.

The biggest problem this movie had is that it shouldn’t have ever existed. „300” is not a reenactment of a historical battle. It’s a comic book adaptation. And there was no comic book sequel to draw from. The reason why the first movie works, is because the filmmakers didn’t even have a script or storyboards, they just used the awesome Frank Miller art. Frank Miller’s writing and graphic style is so astounding and awesome, that the movie basically made itself. The original 300 was an adaptation, not a start of a series.

The hilarious part about this movie was that Themystockles was so devoted to the navy in this film but historically he does actually join forces with persia after the final battle shown in the 2nd movie. If a 3rd film were created I can see them following up and showing this betrayal.
@joaogomes9405
@joaogomes9405 Год назад
I mean, he was devoted to the navy because that's historically true. During his proiminence as a politician he always advocated for a strong Athenian presence at sea. He was the one responsible for building the fleet of triremes that ended up saving Athens and personally commanded the combined Greek navies at Artemisium and Salamis. In fact, during Salamis he sent a messenger to Xerxes to trick him into sailing straight into a trap. He joins the Persians but much after his victory at Salamis, because he was ostracized by rival athenian politicians due to the power and prestige he had gained after Salamis. Eventually, the Spartans involved him in a plot he had nothing to do with in an attempt to have him executed, and he was exiled from Greece altogether, before turning to the Persian Empire and serving under Xerxes's son Artaxerxes. It wasn't a betrayal nearly as much as it was an act of desperation. It was also common practice at the time for exiled Greeks to seek refuge in Persian courts and exiled Persians to seek refuge in Greek courts. Not to mention that after Themistocles joined the Persians, the Persian Empire was in decline and never invaded Greece again, fighting instead a losing war against the advancing Greeks for another 30 years, which ironically found much success thanks to the naval dominance they achieved after Themistocles destroyed much of the Persian fleet at Salamis. After both Themistocles and his rivals' deaths, Themistocles's reputation in Athens was restored and he was lauded for his actions during the Persian Invasion and for spearheading the golden age of Athenian naval power.

Salvation was okay, closest to a good post sequel the franchise has gotten (if somewhat bland).

Dark Fate set a nice gritty tone, presented solid action, and finally brought back Sarah but felt like it tried too hard to copy T2 and just felt unnecessary. T3 had Arnold still near his prime and some cool practical FX but completely missed the point of T2 in favor of some contradictory fatalism.

Favorite video you made this year is Ambulance (2022). I had my doubts about it, specially because of Bayhem. But after seeing your videos on how Bayhem can be when used correctly, my dad and I gave Ambulance a chance. So surprised on how excellent and entertaining this movie was, we wished we would have seen it in theaters. Thanks Filmento - keep up the great work!

I'm gonna go ahead and pick the RoP vs HotD video as my favorite, mostly because of first of all I care about both shows and secondly you described both shows perfectly from a single episode. I felt like RoP was just off and while I enjoyed it, I didn't care for it that much, but my family seemed to love it. I do have to admit, recognizability is a huge part in this, simply because while I did watch almost all of your videos this year, I didn't know every movie/watched every movie, which sometimes makes it harder for me to remember the video. I do have to say though, while I of course have to rely on your word to form an image of the movie, I feel like you have a very good way of explaining a movie, despite not having seen it and judging the movie, that I can truly form an image of what it's like. If I have watched the movie, I always find myself being impressed with how you can conjure up a accurate impression of what the movie is like, without having seen it. You also seem to perfectly word those things that you pick up on, but don't consciously realize, giving comparisons that can perfectly illustrate what you thought somewhere in the back of your mind, but can't put into words. @MuskIsABuffoon (yes, throwaway account because I don't care for Twitter lol)

Honestly it's hard to say. Out of all of them, your video on Jurassic Park Dominion was my favorite. Major reason was because I watched it soon after watching the movie, and you were able to perfectly articulate many of the issues I had (and many I didn't realize). It's just a tough call. Some of your videos like Thor Love and Thunder I watch because it's something I know I won't be watching, but still want to see how it did. Then there's others I specifically watch to gauge your impression with mine.

I watch them all and enjoy every one of them but your Jurassic World: Dominion video really had my respect this year, as you encapsulated everything I was feeling when watching it and then trying to explain afterwards to my friends why it was bs and ruined my positive nostalgic-fuelled love for the franchise, to which they jumped down my throat that I can’t just accept an action packed fun movie and not think too hard about it. 🙄 What they didn’t do with that amazing premise right in their hot little hands - the fact Dinos were roaming the globe in modern day - was sooo upsetting. Anyway thanks for the great education and entertainment this year @filmento! From New Zealand🇳🇿✌️

In historical context, the naval battle in the sequel is the major contributer which turned the tide of the war for Greece against Persia. It was a far more important battle than that of 300. But the problem was that the movie could not depict it's importance over that of the 300 spartans

@@geekdom5959 I don't know if it's a serious question, but I will answer seriously anyway. The defeat by the Turks was a process took around 400 years, so you can understand there are far too many reasons which can be mentioned. Answering the part of the question about strength, though, is pretty easy. The physique of Greeks in 480 BC was very different from that of Greeks in 1453 AD, almost two millenia later. The hoplites in 480 BC were a product of natural selection and evolution through 6-7 centuries of constant war. The Greeks of the Byzantine armies were usually farmers who on average either had never fought in their lives or had fought once. The Byzantines relied too much on mercenaries. The other thing is traditions. The hoplites of classical antiquity had trained and exercised in gymnasia in their youth, and valued exercise later on, while Byzantine Greeks did neither. The last thing is that hoplites were the heavy infantry of their age, so they were stronger, both because of natural selection, and because of just carrying all that armor and weapons on them.
