it was a pretty good movie, the main thing I liked about it was the cinemetography. no matter what critisisms you have about it, you have to admit, the filming was SPECTACULAR.
but, historically accurate? not even a LITTLE bit. The vast majority of the persian army was black, persians arent, and were never, black. where the f*ck did they get a rinocerous? the random guy with blade arms....i get that they can have some artistic liscence, but COME ON. it would have been just as powerful if they'd done some research and TRIED to make it look authentic instead of having a persian army that's some wierd hybrid of indian, african, and pretty much every OTHER culture aside from persian.
