Ha, the holiday of Gandhi Jayanti and I watched this violent, gore film to pass time - also cleaned up my room and did my laundry. 300: Rise of an Empire follows the legacy set by the first movie and stays in the zone for sometime, but without the soul or fury '300' had. The movie is set in before, during, and after the events which make up the previous. The greatest victory of this sequel is the character 'Artemisia' played by Eva Green. What a delight she was to watch, as the fearsome and cunning warrior! The gory violence enhanced through graphic slow-motion remains the same as the other film, and they have applied it wherever possible. Rise of an Empire gives additional background to '300' as I said before and is a passable fare at that. The visual quality was nice but loses most of its charm with the soulless narration of events. Rise of an Empire doesn't give you the sense of awe that '300' gave but hangs by a rope to the set legacy.
