Brilliant both historically and entertaining.

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2007)

In Response to someone's silly comment titles "So stupid-- something something" I would like to say that as a History major I found the film very factual and very historically accurate. It showed the social structure of that culture and how the males at age seven were taken for training in battle and how fierce they were trained to be very accurately. Also, geographically it was pretty well accurate thought they were supposed to be in a slightly more swampy area and there were geysers and hot springs in the area at the actual time. The only thing that was in question was the Persians as they were always the enemy of Greece and Sparta, bu tat that time in history, they were not of a dark complexion. That is Hollywood showing some political statement perhaps and making them more scary and antagonistic I suppose. To say that the film was worthless and a waste of time and to take your own time to write such an attack does not make sense. I loved it and look forward to owning my own copy as soon as it is out on DVD.
