i mean obviously the iranians would get mad, it reminded them that they got there arses wiped by a small group, then would end up losing the war.SaintLeonidas

:lol:  Ya, I would have liked to see the final battle though.

Who do you think the good side is?

I do not accept the concept of "good and evil". There were merely sides.

So you would consider the goals of both the Persians and Greeks morally on par with one another? 

[QUOTE="HupHupOranje"][QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"]

in most war movies the enemy is portraited badly,mostly because we are cheering for the good side.

That is why this movie is political.

What alot of people don't understand though is they count the actions of a few and take it as the whole culture.  Like the US

i hope he says the spartans...the persians were an invading country set on total domination, while all the greeks wanted was to live free.

Yes, I don't see how anyone, even Iranians could see them as the "good guys".

I can tell;) Does anyone though think it depicted Persians in a bad fashion though?

nope.I think iran is over reacting about a ficitonal movie depicating there culture 2500 years ago.

I agree. Since it was more or less a true story anyway.

True but in that since the Persians were the enemy, because they were the conquerors.

bacon_is_sweet, you don't post as actively as you used toCarlos_Santana

Wow thats cool, someone remembered me.:P  I guess I've been off doing other stuff lately, plus girls can draw you from the computer from time to time.;)

it was very average in my opinion, i thought the action sequences though cool and intense were sloppily done, also was not a fan of how they played heavy metal through some parts, sure its a fantasy movie and all and they were trying to capture the moment but it just didnt do it for me, i also thought the plot was somewhat thin. for how hyped it was, especially around here, i felt it let down a bit.g-unit248

Really?  Thats too bad.  I actually thought it was great how they put all the fantasy in there instead of trying to make it overly real.
