Fiction Retelling of an Epic Battle

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2007)

This is not a historical film, this is not an accurate depiction of the famous Pass of Thermopylae. This is that same suicide mission. Retold warped and changed like stories and legends are, this is Frank Miller's vision of Spartan epic. This movie is not perfect because there is no such thing, if you are looking for a great action beat-em' up film see Frank Miller's 300. If you are looking to see a historically correct depiction of the Pass of Thermopylae then watch the History channel. I have seen this film more than once, because I enjoyed it so much opening night. Not everyone is a fan of beat-em' ups, I like them sometimes.
9/10 Not much beats it
