As BAD as it gets

Rating: 1/10 (27 June 2009)

One of the worst things ever seen on TV, and very insulting both to Greeks and Iranians. If the director wanted to make a joke and make a pathetic movie based on a sick comic, he should have used Spiderman or Batman or other American brands, and not play with ancient Greek or Persian history in this awful presentation of one of the most dramatic times in Europe. Total lack of respect, total ignorance, lack of basic knowledge of ancient history...Virtually NOTHING is historically correct.NOT A THING..If it was based on a comic it should have been other title and imaginary heroes.As everything ancient and tradition which is Americanized, this turned out just awful and tasteless. Based on a comic or not it should not be made in this fashion,ever. And of course 90% of young Americans now think this is really what happened in Thermopylae. I wonder what would he think if George Washington was portrayed as a clown, or Civil war heroes (it there were ones) as punk rock bandits and all with superpowers and in slow motion. Would that be interesting????
