I left the movie with one huge resonating question...
Why were the spartans SCOTTISH!?
I saw it, I found it reasonable, I walked in with no knowledge of the comic, and little knowledge of the actual battle/history of it (my schools sucked for teaching history). I walked out of it, still with little knowledge of the history and an offer from my dad to dig out his old copies of The Oddessy and Illiad (In both english and ye-olde greek... aka scottish apparently).
I dont expect it to be in the language its supposed to be mimicing, but atleast be in english with the affectations and accent of the language it is supposed to be mimicing....
sigh.
and I got no snuggles from cute friend that I went with
THIS IS SPARTA!
