300, The rise of an em"pire" - Review

Three Hundred, hope this doesn’t go unread;
The rise of a nation;
Haunted by the blood of Leonidis and the 300 past,
This rise of an empire might be forgotten fast?
Yes, Indeed.
It lacks the sucker punch, yet remains thoroughly watchable owing to the screenplay and background score and the rationale that a person would never give up on the what could have been, as every second that passes by the movie runs amok, as Persians falter into the abyss, thanks to Athenian strategem.
The movie starts on a beautiful note – Quote “A mad experiment by Athenians againt the mighty Persians, all for an Athenian Idea called democracy, for a free greece”Unquote. Acting does not inspire, nor does anyone try. Eva Green as Artemisia flatters with her divine beauty, appreciated only by the greeks of the past, as her acting decieves and she falters into the waters of Greece, with the idea of freedom.
Xerxes feeds on the dead, grieves as his father falls, bathes likes a Greek God, walks and rides more than he talks. But his innate anger, the very reason for the desire to conquer, fails to inspire the vengeance that gave birth to the idea of conquering Greeks.
There used to be this feeling in 300, when Leonidis braves the persian messenger when he shouts his lungs out “This is Sparta”. That instantly sent shivers down the spine of the messenger, the audience would have clenched their fists to defend Sparta and avenge the audaciousness of Persian offering of tyranny. But As the 300 empire rises and progresses into the w hole , one feels whether this was the Sparta? – The same Sparta that portrayed the valour and believable courage of the 300, that braved the animosity of Xerxes, even when outnumbered by tyranny and deceived by one of their own, they fought on to attain the glorious death that provides the ammunition for the salvation of a warrior. The blasphemy of Leonidis’s death avenged too late by a queen that grieves a bit too late. The foreplay of Queen's vengeance isn’t consummated by the blood of Xerxes or his disciples. Themistocles as the main lead, leads, falls, rises, strategises and beds victory with ease, as Artemesia raves about his manhood and gifts death, as her Persian God looks away in  human loss.
300 Rise of an empire is as good as the Age of Mythology post Age of Empires for the Strategy Gamers - Geeky impulse, sorry. Simply Put, Ain’t as good as its precedent, No Pun intended.
