Rubbish

Rating: 2/10 (17 August 2007)

This movie was the biggest load of rubbish put to film. It is historically inaccurate, Leonidas did not start the Persian war, Xerxes invaded Greece because his father was humiliated by the Athenians at the Battle of Marathon. Hence the Olympic long distance race of the same name. Sparta had 2 Kings, not 1, 1 King went to war, the other remained home. The Persians did not land by sea at Thermopylae, but instead came over land, the sea route was blocked by the Athenian Navy under Spartan command. I would like to know where the Uber Immortal came from, and the hunchback? Also, Xerxes had Leonidas' head cut off after he defeated the Spartans and had it put on a pike, thus enraging the rest of the Spartans still at home, who would not go further North than the wall near Corinth.
The original 300 Spartans was a far better production, it actually relied on acting and not computerized imagery, so don't waste time with this load of crap, see the original and avoid disappointment.
