300

I watched the movie 300, directed by Zack Snyder and starring Gerard Butler.  I have never seen a movie based off of a historical event so TERRIBLY portrayed.  1.  There were no trolls, demons, or hobgoblins in the Persian Empire.  Sorry, Hollywood, 10-foot tall super-soldiers didn't grow on trees.  2.  The Athenians, portrayed as pussies and politicians, were actually the only reason the Spartans lived, they held off the Persian fleet so the Persians couldn't sail around and attack the Spartans from both sides. 3.  Of course, Hollywood forgets to mention the other 5,800 soldiers with the Spartans.  It wasn't just some 300 Spartans and a few Thespians being all lone wolf and bad ass.  It was 6,100 angry Greeks.  4.  The Immortals weren't named Immortals because they never died.  It was just because there were so many it seemed that once you killed one, there was another in its place instantaneously.  They were just slaves with spears/swords and hauberks.  Nothing  special, just foot soldiers with basic weaponry and little-to-no armour.  Please, Hollywood, do your history before you let your writers hit the ganja.
Thanks,
Matt
