| I'm apprehensive.
The actual story of both the Spartan society and the Battle of Thermopylae are fantastic ones. I cringe at the thought of what Hollywood will do with this though.
The Battle of Thermopylae is a more interesting and more intricate story than is often recounted full of tragedy, heroics, and betrayal.
I'm afraid of 300 Spartans vs. 10,000 Persians & a love story.
these numbers are often used but are misleading. |
Yeah, the armored giant "battle rhinoceroses" in the trailer don't bode well in my opinion.
It might still be good entertainment, though, even if historically very inaccurate. I'll definitely want to see it and judge for myself.
But I remember what a disaster of a movie Oliver Stone's "Alexander" was.
