Distortion of History...

Rating: 1/10 (31 March 2007)

After seeing the trailer and the VERY HIGH rate on IMDb, I decided to go to the Cinema and see the movie.
And I must say that I totally regret it!! The movie is nothing but a distortion of History!! They pictured the Persians as if they were ugly monsters and slavery empire while they pictured Spartans as if they were angels or something!! Fighting for Freedom!! All known reliable history books says great things about the Persians civilization and their king while the movie show the king as if he's a homo!!!! While in the history books Spartans are the ones who enjoyed young boys!!!!! The Persians didn't look that ugly of course and the king never appeared in the front line in the real battle and the Spartans only delayed the Persians for a few days, nothing more!! The graphics were awful, specially the wolf in the beginning, also the elephants and rhino as well, also the "AROOOOO" thing, it was unpleasant at all!!!! And the cheesy lines about freedom and so on!! Awful script indeed!! A clear political offending message to Iran and to the world.
Another thing that bothers me is the UNBELIEVABLE high rate on IMDb!! And this makes me wonder how such a poor movie reaches 8.3 with more than 35 thousand votes in the first few days??!! It makes me wonder about the creditability of this site indeed!!!! To sum it up; those were 2 hours I lost from my life for TOTAL CRAP!!!!
