Movie was a total fantasy.

Never would have guessed it from the commercials =).

Seriously, this thing looks like a cartoon set on film. I doubt that the kids who will be attracted to this movie know or care anything about Greek or Persian history.

From your Link, the quoted number is 3 million invading force.

10,000 may well have been a certain division (army division) of immortals.

Even if it isn't the correct number of troops, 300 men against 10,000 still means that each man has to kill over 30 invaders each.

It's rated "R" - and producers and others have said - DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN - THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S MOVIE.

Geeeeeeeze .. where do you people get your info ..??

As for Persian or Greek history .. I believe this type of movie will make students (high schoolers) curious about Greece and Persia (now Iran).
