Negative Positive
Title: Poliitical Correctness and Poetic License
Review: The battle of Thermopylae was very thoroughly documented by Roman historians, but this special effects bombshell hardly resembles the actual facts of that most important land battle in history. Couching dialog in hip modern terms that a younger audience can quickly understand and relate to is not HISTORY, it is HISTORY-LIKE.The armor is an invention of Hollywood prop suppliers and not authentic. The depiction of battles deteriorates into bedlam and street fighting techniques.Various characters were given dialog and action not consistent with historical facts.I watched it once and relegated it to the dumpster, where it belongs with all of the other modern Hollywood political propaganda.
