I think it bad Jim for several reasons. First of all this is about an actual historical event. Yes hsitory can be vague and making it into a movie quite impossible to tell the WHOLE story. I can understand that.
What did irk me about this movie was the total cgi characteristics of the movie. I think all of it was cgi. Secondly the film was more "fantasy" than fantasy themed stories out there like Lord of the Rings. Remember this is based on a historical event. Lastly the allegorical touch to it was just way over the top. The whole movie just dehumanizes what happen to real people, be they the Greeks or Persians. It was just unrealistic. Dont believe me??? Well wait for some sucker to by a dvd and borrow it. Perhaps a pirated download is possible as well.
I for the most part just dont go to the movies. Dont have the time. I somehow got dragged into going from some friends who wanted me to go for the sake of scrutinizing the historical accuracy of the film. Trust me... it was so bad that they really didnt need me to figure this out. Last time I went to a movie prior to this one was that movie with Russel Crowe as some British sea Captain chasing some darn Frenchie vessel during the Napoleanic Wars. That was a LOOOOONNNGG time ago no?
