Aww c'mon!
Ever heard of dramatic license? Imagine what the Greeks though when they reailzed that Asia was invading...and long before fox news 24-7. Rumors and rumors of rumors...must have caused terror and panic among the inhabitants.

Again read Herodotus and here is a paraphrase of it. Much of what Herodotus wrote is in the film.

Of course - that is why I am kind of shocked that people are using a comic book inspired movie to get all pumped up about. It must be a good movie if people think this movie is a sign from above.

I will repeat again - I loved the movie. I loved the comic book. I don't consider this movie a realistic outlook on real life.

At least as an Orthodox Christian you accept the dogma that non violent martyrdom (unlike war making jihadist version) for Christ is rewarded in paradise.
