Awful

Rating: 1/10 (7 May 2007)

If you wonder what could be the Hollywood's sickest and perverse "adaptation" of history - just watch this movie.
I don't understand why the movie makers used the names of real people and events, even countries?!? Do they pretend this is historical movie or what?!? Why Iranian people are pictured as monsters and freaks? Who needs this?
I am not Iranian, nor Greek - but I think these people are right to be insulted. Part of their history pictured in LOTR style (badly)- where the bad guys are black and ugly, and the good ones are white and athletic... How come the king of Persia (a real person) - Xerxes is African?
What should we expect next from Holyshi..ood - blond Vikings conquering Spain, where they fight the local trolls and ogres?
