crap

Rating: 1/10 (14 April 2007)

i already knew it was not worth seeing - but being a fan of ancient history i had to. and i am not at all a fanatic who wants to see everything accurate. BUT: the Persians are decadent "asian hordes", are faceless or even monsters. the traitor "ephialtes" is ugly, so even the biggest idiot can see the difference to the attractive muscular Spartans. how good that it's so easy to spot the evil! i can only say the visual message of this movie is deeply racist and fascist. and there is no other message. no plot, nothing. the action sequences are well performed but i personally could have done without the PC-game aesthetic. in the end it was boring. what a waste
