Just awful

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2014)

I don't care what it is based on. It was misleading, inaccurate and ridiculous all together! The movie by itself was awful. This movie could Literally be done in 45 min. were it not for the ridiculous slow motion. - The portrayal of Xerxes made me cry. He wasn't a bald mulatto king he was the king of PERSIA. Truthfully Xerxes looked more like Leonidas in the movie than Leonidas himself.

Herodotus was a fuc*ing Greek he isn't exactly what you call a reliable source on information. He claims that Xerxes' fleet were 1 million. Recent studies show that it were around 60.000 which is probably still an overestimation. 70.000 is merely 7% of what the Greek historian claimed.

So it was an army of 70.000 VS and army of 24.000, yes my dear uneducated friends you "heard" right. 70.000 VS 24.000. The Greeks killed around 20.000 Persians which is very impressive.

The 70.000 number is not a fact. But it IS a fact that it wasn't near the millions.

Just giving credit where it is due.
