A heap of bodies only partially explains the seven-year wait for a follow to 300, Zack Snyder’s ancient Greek affair in which Gerard Butler and 299 beefcake bros nakedly took on multitudinous Persians with only their swords and sweat.

Butler’s Spartan King Leonidas and his men achieved “a beautiful victory” — not to mention great box office — but sadly lost their heads. A prequel seemed the obvious path, but then Butler went sitcom soft and Snyder opted for stories of super dudes in leotards.

So the mere existence of 300: Rise of an Empire is worthy of note, especially the inventive means by which the story has been advanced. Neither prequel nor sequel (maybe we should call it equal), it looks at the other Greeks versus Persians clash that was happening around the same ancient time as 300’s Battle of Thermopylae.

As any history book (or Google) will tell you, this is the aquatic skirmish on the Aegean Sea. The Greeks are once against vastly outnumbered by invading Persians, and here we meet the secret weapon of Rise of an Empire: women.

This highly stylized account, drawn as before from a graphic novel by Frank Miller but under the direction this time of Israel’s Noam Murro, has a vibrant lead in Eva Green, best known as Bond girl Vesper Lynd from Casino Royale.

As Artemisia, commander of the Persian navy, she dresses Goth but acts Amazon. To say she takes no prisoners is like saying Godzilla doesn’t have a calling card. Presented with an unworthy male, she summarily beheads him, theatrically kisses the severed noggin and then flings it contemptuously away.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially one packing two lethal blades. And although Artemisia is of Greek blood, she’s seeking payback against her countrymen for the raping and pillaging visited upon her family and town in her childhood, and for the killing of Persian King Darius (Igal Naor), the man who rescued her and trained her as a warrior.

Darius took a fatal arrow fired by the Greek warrior Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton), an event so important to the movie, Murro shows us the flashback twice, in case we missed the point. (Snyder and his 300 co-writer Kurt Johnstad penned the screenplay.)

As fate would have it, Themistokles now leads the Greek naval resistance against Persia, and Artemisia aims to seduce, corrupt and kill him, not necessarily in that order.

And she’s great, giving Rise of an Empire some badly needed energy beyond the endless grunting and sepia-toned blood-spilling of the rest of the picture, which does manage to make good use of widescreen 3D. Heads split, breasts bulge, bodies slam and ships collide with authority.

The estrogen-enriched production also includes the return of Game of Thrones’ Lena Headey as Spartan Queen Gorgo, aggrieved widow of Leonidas, who also swings a mean knife but gets considerably less screen time than Green.

Together they help make up for the absence of Butler, who is seen only in flashback, and for Stapleton’s serviceable yet unmemorable portrayal of the top Greek seaman.

Making even less of an impression, apart from a sartorial one, is Rodrigo Santoro as returning god-man Xerxes, the heavily pierced peacock who watches the action mainly from the sidelines while Artemisia does the heavy lifting. We do get to see how he became a god while visiting a spa, but it inspires snickers rather than shudders.

None of the men in Rise of an Empire are a match for Artemisia’s tongue, which is sharper than her twin blades.

Given the choice between hearing her withering assessment of your sexual prowess, or having her shove a sword into your guts, you might just go for the sword. Ouch!

The first Persian invasion of Greece, during the Persian Wars, began in 492 BCE, and ended with the decisive Athenian victory at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE. The invasion, consisting of two distinct campaigns, was ordered by the Persian king Darius I primarily in order to punish the city-states of Athens and Eretria. These cities had supported the cities of Ionia during their revolt against Persian rule, thus incurring the wrath of Darius. Darius also saw the opportunity to extend his empire into Europe, and to secure its western frontier.

The first campaign in 492 BCE, led by Mardonius, re-subjugated Thrace and forced Macedon to become a client kingdom of Persia. However, further progress was prevented when Mardonius's fleet was wrecked in a storm off the coast of Mount Athos. The following year, having demonstrated his intentions, Darius sent ambassadors to all parts of Greece, demanding their submission. He received it from almost all of them, except Athens and Sparta, both of whom executed the ambassadors. With Athens still defiant, and Sparta now effectively at war with him, Darius ordered a further military campaign for the following year.

The second campaign, in 490 BCE, was under the command of Datis and Artaphernes. The expedition headed first to the island Naxos, which it captured and burnt. It then island-hopped between the rest of the Cycladic Islands, annexing each into the Persian empire. Reaching Greece, the expedition landed at Eretria, which it besieged, and after a brief time, captured. Eretria was razed and its citizens enslaved. Finally, the task force headed to Attica, landing at Marathon, en route for Athens. There, it was met by a smaller Athenian army, which nevertheless proceeded to win a remarkable victory at the Battle of Marathon.

This defeat prevented the successful conclusion of the campaign, and the task force returned to Asia. Nevertheless, the expedition had fulfilled most of its aims, punishing Naxos and Eretria, and bringing much of the Aegean under Persian rule. The unfinished business from this campaign led Darius to prepare for a much larger invasion of Greece, to firmly subjugate it, and to punish Athens and Sparta. However, internal strife within the empire delayed this expedition, and Darius then died of old age. It was thus left to his son Xerxes I to lead the second Persian invasion of Greece, beginning in 480 BCE

Besucht meine Facebook-Seite: Filmreak Kritik

Der Film erzählt was vor, während und nach dem Kampf der 300 Spartaner passierte.
Es wird der Aufstieg von Xerxes erzählt und man erfährt, was ihn dazu motiviert hat Griechenland anzugreifen.
Dann springt der Film ein paar Jahre nach vorne und zeigt die Ereignisse, die parallel zu Leonidas' Kampf bei den Felsschluchten stattfinden: Auch General Themistokles versammelt seine Truppen um die persische Invasion abzuwehren, wo er es genau wie Leonidas mit einer unglaublichen Übermacht zu tun bekommt.

Mehr möchte ich zur Geschichte gar nicht schreiben, denn sehr viel mehr beinhaltet der Film nicht - abgesehen von ein paar großartigen Charakteren, zu denen ich später komme.
Und das ist in meinen Augen auch die einzige Schwäche des Films: die Geschichte.
Diese ist alles andere als schlecht, versteht mich nicht falsch. Aber leider bietet sie auch wenig tiefgang, was ich zwar nicht erwartet habe, aber dennoch sehr schade ist, da man einfach merkt, dass da noch so viel mehr möglich gewesen wäre.

Somit bekommt man quasi ¨nur¨ eine Menge Schlachten und die Ereignisse bzw. Erzählungen dazwischen zu sehen, aber das alles ist so großartig inszeniert, dass man aus dem Staunen nicht rauskommt.
Und auf solche Szenen muss man gar nicht lange warten, denn der Film packt einen nicht nur von Anfang an, er fesselt einen richtig.
Schon in den ersten Minuten zeigt der Film all seine Stärken, auf die ich einzeln eingehen möchte.

Fangen wir mit der offensichtlichsten Stärke an: die Schlachten.
Diese haben ja schon 300 zu einem Klassiker gemacht und hier legt man nicht nur eine Schippe drauf, sondern gleich mehrere.
Denn die zahlreichen sowie langen Massenschlachten finden nun nicht nur an Land statt, sondern auch auf hoher See und wirken dadurch noch größer und epischer als ohnehin schon.
Das liegt nicht nur an der nach wie vor beeindruckenden und großartigen Kampfchoreographie, sondern vor allem an der Kompromisslosigkeit.
Was in dem Film an Blut fließt und alles an Körperteilen abgetrennt wird, sieht man nicht alle Tage im Kino und erst recht nicht in dieser Qualität.
Die Schlachten werden so spektakulär geführt, wie man es schon lange nicht mehr gesehen hat und wenn man sieht, wie sich die kleine Armee gegen das große Heer schlägt, staunt man nicht nur wegen den Taktiken und dem Geschick der Kämpfer, sondern vor allem wegen den Effekten.

Die Effekte sind dann die nächste Stärke des Films - ohne diese wäre er nicht halb so großartig, wie er ist.
Die Effekte und Inszenierung sind es nämlich, die den Zuschauer immer wieder zum staunen bringen.
Man sieht dem Film Zack Snyders Handschrift einfach an und dieser weiß eben was man wie mit den Effekten macht und zeigt uns wie großartig ein Film heutzutage aussehen kann.
Das fängt bei den Bluteffekten an, welche in anderen Filmen das Highlight des Films wären, hier allerdings nur einen Bruchteil dessen darstellen, was es noch zum staunen bzw. zum genießen geben wird.
Dazu zählen großartige Bauten, Paläste und einfach alles, was man in dem Szenario zu sehen bekommen kann.
Ich hätte mir Stundenlang Xerxes Heimat ansehen können, oder einfach nur das brennende Athen, welches man ja schon im Trailer zu sehen bekam.
Sieht das alles schon mehr als fantastisch aus, hat man die Highlights immer noch nicht gesehen.
Diese sind nämlich die bereits angesprochenen Schlachten auf See.
Dass die Choreographie der Schlachten großartig ist, sagte ich bereits.
Dass sie auf Schiffen, welche in der Schlacht zerbrechen noch spektakulärer sind, brauch ich glaub nicht zu erklären.
Und wenn das alles noch in ein Effektfeuerwerk verpackt wird, kann ein Film einfach nicht besser aussehen und optisch nicht mehr bieten.
Sieht man die Wassereffekte in einer blutigen Schlacht mit endloser Zerstörung, so ist das absolut perfekte Hollywoodunterhaltung, welche man im Kino gesehen haben muss.
Denn nur auf der großen Leinwand entfaltet das optische Feuerwerk seine volle Wirkung, was durch ein großartiges 3D abgerundet wird, welches einfach perfekt zum Stil des Films passt.

Jetzt hab ich schon so viel Gutes zu dem Film geschrieben, dass es nicht mehr besser werden kann, stimmts?
Stimmt nicht!

Denn ich habe noch gar nix zu den Schauspielern geschrieben.
Und da sah ich vor Beginn ein großes Problem, einfach weil man Gerard Butler als Leonidas nur sehr schwer toppen kann.
Meine Skepsis wurde allerdings schnell begraben, da Sullivan Stapleton in der Hauptrolle wirklich klasse spielt. Er versucht gar nicht erst Butler zu ersetzen, sondern zeigt uns seine eigene Version eines Generals und überzeugt dabei voll und ganz. Er hat dieses gewisse Etwas und strotzt vor Charisma, so, dass sein Schauspiel einfach ein Genuss ist.

Aber selbst das wird noch getoppt, nämlich von seiner größten Widersacherin: Eva Green als Artemisia.
Was die uns da für eine Kämpferin und Führerin auf die Leinwand bringt, sieht man (wie vieles in dem Film) sehr selten.
Das liegt zum einen daran, dass ihr Hintergrund genauer erzählt wird, als es bei allen anderen Charakteren der Fall ist.
Zwar bietet der Hintergrund nichts wirklich Origninelles, wurde aber so präsentiert, dass man als Zuschauer verstehen kann, wieso sie ihr eigenes Land angreift.
Ihren Rachedurst und die Wut verkörpert sie zwar etwas ¨over the top¨, aber das passt einfach perfekt zum ganzen Film, da dieser eben auch nicht auf dem Boden bleibt.

Wer jetzt noch was negatives lesen möchte, ist im falschem Film.
Denn das einzig negative ist die bereits angesprochene Geschichte, welche nicht besonders tiefgründig ist.
Da man das aber weder erwartet, noch braucht, kann man darüber hinwegsehen.
Ansonsten bleibt mir nur noch zu sagen, dass die Dialoge teilweise verdammt gut sind und der Humor zwar klein geschrieben wird, es aber dennoch was zum lachen gibt.

Fazit:
Der Film bietet keine Sekunde Langeweile und punktet in allem, was er bietet.
Effekte sind auf höchstem Niveau, das 3D ergänzt diese noch großartig und bietet in Kombination mit den Schlachten einen unglaublichen Schauwert.
Und auch wenn die Erzählung zu wünschen übrig lässt, sitzt man mehrmals mit einem offenem Mund im Kinosaal und staunt immer und immer wieder.

Für solche Filme wurde das Kino erfunden.

Wertung: 5 von 5 Sternen

Anmerkung: Wahrscheinlich steh ich mit der Wertung alleine da und wahrscheinlich ist sie übertrieben, aber das ist einfach meine Meinung.
Der Film schaute sich wie aus einem Guss, unterhält von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute und sieht dabei so unverschämt gut aus, dass ich sagen muss: mehr kann man darauß nicht machen.
