Based on a lie!

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 2013)

This movie yes has great animations and effects but it has a lot of lies. Alright, Xerxes was an awful king but mocking and showing the faces of The Persians this way is wrong. For example, the line was that "The Immortals served Persian Kings for 500 years." First of all, Persians ruled that country and empire for like 150 years back then and secondly, The Immortals were just people who were like Spartans in a way. They were trained to protect the King and their training began from the time that they were kids. But faceless monsters is a bad description. Yes I agree Xerxes killed his own men and he was a drunken King so filled with wrath and anger and that's what made him the very first king who spoiled the empire with his dream of conquering Europe. But showing him this way, first of all, all Persian king kept and did not shave their hairs and beards EVER. It was a tradition. And secondly, saying that he said he was the GOD is wrong, too. He said he was so many things like "King of the World" or he said that his destiny was to take over the world but he never said he was God and such pictures and lies were never in a documentary movie or any kinds of movies except for Frank Miller's comics books. And also, Do you yourselves who live in America count forcing children to get trained and being soldiers for their whole lives as FREEDOM or count them as FREE MEN? Persian soldiers were mostly volunteers and the only ones that weren't, Their parents forced them into joining the army. The plot was clearly a lie but the movie itself was great.
