The book is pretty short but it also has just the right length. But despite the extreme pathos, the floods of blood / body parts and the ridiculous make-up/CGI abs, I liked it.
#CHARACTERS FROM THE MOVIE 300 MOVIE#
As with many comics and graphic novels, I've seen the movie before I read the book. It's not historically accurate, but I also didn't expect that since its purpose rather is to entertain, shock (corpses! nudity!) and give a new coating to an already very well-known point in history.

Read this book!Īs with many comics and graphic novels, I've seen the movie before I read the book. Overall, if you are looking for something energetic. The movie not only absorbs the story faithfully but also manages to transcend the source material in many parts. And now I can state confidently that the movie is one hell of an adaptation of its source material. The art is also beautiful in many panels. The story is so well written and you could actually feel the energy flowing through the words when you read the story. You'd know why that particular opinion persists when you read this book.

This limited graphic series is considered as one of the most acclaimed works of Frank Miller.
#CHARACTERS FROM THE MOVIE 300 FULL#
Set in 480 BC, Frank Miller's 300 retells the battle of Thermopylae: a battle that raged between 300 Spartans and allied forces against the full strength of Persian army. (I hope everyone here chanted that with me) You Are you ready for the 88-page long epic graphic novel inspired by the most famous historic last stand? Just don't try to derive a history lesson from the movie.Are you ready for the 88-page long epic graphic novel inspired by the most famous historic last stand? Ahoo Ahoo Ahoo (I hope everyone here chanted that with me) Into the hell's mouth. But in terms of sheer bloody spectacle, "300: Rise of an Empire" gets a lot of mileage out of sheer venal spectacle. Is there intelligent dialogue, or anything actually emotionally stirring? By my lights, no. Also, the color palette here is more expansive than in Snyder's original: in addition to dun, there's also a lot of blue, a dark gray, and lots and lots of crimson. Every time a sword swipes a battling warrior, the screen fills up with a lake's worth of spurting blood, to the extent that you really start hoping that one of the film's character's suffers a paper cut, just to see what happens. The rest of the film's over-the-topness is pretty purposeful as well.

The ruthlessness of Green's character is taken to extremes that meld Medea to the cheesiest serial you can name, and is hence delicious.

"Rise of an Empire," directed by Noam Munro (who also made " Smart People," which clearly established his 3D action movie bonafides…no wait…) is entirely more engaging by dint of being absolutely impossible to take even a little bit seriously.

I hated the Zack-Snyder-directed "300" with a passion: aside from its in-your-face hateful war-mongering sentiments and the aforementioned homophobia, the thing looked as if it had been shot through lenses that had been smeared with dog feces prior to each take. While the first "300," based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller, was relentlessly male-driven in a way that was both relentlessly homoerotic and blithely homophobic, the introduction (no doubt historically inaccurate) of Green's character to the combat changes the sexual dynamic in a way that's pretty ridiculous and also kind of jaw-dropping. And this naval commander, an unusual one by anybody's standards, is both intrigued and vexed by the Athenian, who goes by the name Themistocles, and is played by a stalwart Sullivan Stapleton. They're coming by ship, and the navy is commanded by the golden boy's sister, Artemisia, played by the sexually intimidating Eva Green, who's going Full Diamanda Galas here, only without the singing. There's one Greek fellow, an Athenian, who believes in the "experiment" called "democracy," and he wants the Spartans to back him up as the fey Persians, spurred by possibly homosexual golden (literally!) boy Xerxes, come to lay waste to his model city.
