Most reviewers also commented on a combative sex scene between Artemisia and Athenian leader Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton). Zacharek also appreciated her outfits: вЂњThere are one-shouldered numbers draped with chains and dotted with grommets, shimmery columns that resemble liquid metal, and, perhaps finest of all, a skin-tight sheath with a row of silver spikes running down her spinal column like a violent shiver.вЂќ вЂњLeather and chainmail has rarely been as fetching,вЂќ Sharkey said.

What else theyвЂ™re talking about from вЂњEmpireвЂќ: Two things, actually. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle called her вЂњthe movieвЂ™s one genuine point of interest,вЂќ and the Village VoiceвЂ™s Stephanie Zacharek gushed, вЂњbehold the magnificent Eva Green, and tremble!вЂќ The TimesвЂ™ Betsy Sharkey called GreenвЂ™s character вЂњthe one to watchвЂќ and added, вЂњyou couldnвЂ™t ask for a more magnetic villain.вЂќ Reviews for the film have been mixed to negative, but movie critics have largely praised GreenвЂ™s portrayal of the bloodthirsty Artimesia, who leads the Persian navy against the Greeks and has a personal vendetta. What critics are saying about her role in вЂњRise of an EmpireвЂќ: Frankly, that sheвЂ™s the best part of the movie. She also had roles in вЂњKingdom of Heaven,вЂќ вЂњThe Golden CompassвЂќ and вЂњDark Shadows.вЂќ GreenвЂ™s most famous role came in 2006, when she played Vesper Lynd, James BondвЂ™s love interest, opposite Daniel Craig in вЂњCasino Royale.вЂќ
