Good movie, bad history - 300 Reviews

The movie was great lots of visual work and a heroic story, but the writer clearly had no idea about the Persian Empire. First of all, I don't understand why all Greek Spartans look like waxed models from a model show (not to mention they jump 2 meters high with a sword, spear and a shield) but Persian Immortals all look like Orcs from Lord of The Rings. Also movie didn't say anything about Greek slaves who fought with their masters to the very end (not that they had a choice), instead it shows Greeks hate slavery!!!!!. Moreover, I think the writer doesn't even know where Persia was!! Half of the Persian army is African, but Persians never invaded Africa so there shouldn't be any black individuals in the movie. Persians were the only Empire that never called their King a God (they did call them King of Kings because that's what they were). Movie however shows Persian King's camp is full of nudity and sexual relationship, and refers to Xerxes as a God. In addition I think the writer thought this movie is one of his comic books and therefore tried to make Persians look like Uruks just to show who?s the bad guy.....:/
