Historical disgrace...

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 2007)

I actually wonder how such a movie could be made in the first place. I agree it was a good sight but was there anything else? Did Persians look like orcs or some genetic wonder? And why were all the evil characters black? The battle of Thermoplai was an epic battle between Hellens and Persians indeed but in the movie the battle was fought between US Marine Corps and orcs. It was the worse of its genre.
Anyone who would like to see some saw-armed, ten feet tall blob and a leper nation MUST see this movie. Not to mention "war-rhino".
CAUTION: This movie is based upon lack of historical truth. For some real thrill and truth, I'd recommend this book: Gates of Fire/Steven Pressfield.
SUGGESTION: Do a little history research or at least read the book given above before seeing this movie. And after that, if you are still happy with what you saw, than I am happy for you.
