More man power, less emotions

Around 9/10 comments think this movie sucks.
I don't. I say take it for what it is... It's not an epic war movie... it's not a historically correct movie. It's just a simple good versus bad movie told in a comic Universe. The plot is weak, yes, but that is what this movie is about. NOT WHAT THE ORIGINAL STORY IS ABOUT, don't ever compare any movie to its origin, no matter the movie 'cause then you'll end up with a whole bunch of crap.
This movie simply shows a battle between Persians and Spartans in a comic Universe. Spartans = Good glorious, hardcore warriors. Persians = Evil, corrupt, lustful, impure people.
The acting is quite poor, but it matters less due to little talking. I do however seriously dislike the side story where his wife stands up and utters in the Counsel and where she reveals that corrupt politician for what he really is. It's so corny that he just hid his money which he received from the Persians under his cloth.
This story is supposed to be hardcore man power, yet it drops it. They should totally have cut out his love to his committed wife and generally the whole love thing.
More man power, less emotion and feelings.
