I'm an archaeologist...and for most of us, this film is a kick on the ****! But this is a FILM based on a COMIC BOOK, that was made by a man that saw a 1962 film that told the MITH of Thermopilas...that has some reality 2500 years ago, and became HISTORY! even the classics did not told history as it was...Trojan war (a horse...right), king Arthur (big sword), Cleopatra (big nose woman), whatever...none tell history as it was...even WW1/2 why people would expect to be correct after twenty five centuries?! be free, be original...be open...
It is not a History lesson..and thank the gods!!It a movie a great movie, that lead us to what may have happened...It is basic and beautiful!It's rough, quick...there were men that fought for what they believe to be the right thing to do, and saw the enemy as they believe they where!! For those who love Frank Miller, this is his book in movement...for those who don't, do not see the movie...it will be a waste of money and it will give it too many bad reviews!!! :) As an archaeologist...i appreciate the opportunity to see history (or something like that) happening before my eyes! it's nice to see Spartans fighting rather then dug their pottery....
other movies rapped harder history and they were not MADE AFTER A COMIC BOOK...bare in mind that I like this films...Gladiator, King Arthur, Braveheart...! Be open!!
