It's really a bad movie.

WHAT?!?!?! NONSENSE I SAY! Pure nonesense! Did you fall asleep on accident during the movie? The battle scenes were absolutely stunning!!

Does anyone remember power rangers?, man this was no different.

Watch how the Persians come out striking without their Shields in the continuously shot sequences. It is not really fair to the Spartans either who are shown as arrogant, savage, uncultured brutes, not exactly the same as brave warriors. Look out for the enlarged noses on the emissaries of the Persians, reminiscent of Hollywood's traditional vilification of the Arab image. This movie just replaced the Arabs with the Iranians.

Malizai, I have been making the same point about the diplomats. The final diplomat should have been similar to the other two, but no. They just had to  place blacks in for Persians, which makes no sense whatsoever. Screw diversity, blacks do not belong in a movie about a point in time in which they had next to no effect. I'm not  against black actors or anything, but they did not belong in a movie. Would a black guy fit in movies such as Michael Collins or Rob Roy? I doubt it. The same goes for this movie.

Well now you know. What is suspicion but doubt.

You would be a perfect movie critic. No, I was making a valid point about how they did not have any place in the movie. That is not racist in any manner. It would be like putting a Russian or a Mongol in the movie. I am not against casting any actors in movies, except when their specific ethnicity has nothing to do with the time period of the movie, they should not be casted. Would you be for casting an African actor in a movie about the Roman Invasion of Brittania? Explain to me how I am being contradictory, or unconstitutional?

Im sorry big guy but i am laughing my ass off right now reading ur response. You want me to explain to you how your comment is unconstitutional? I dont know!


But on a more serious tone I wouldnt mind a black legion heading to britian. black people need british loving too

Originally posted by Adalwolf I don't see why there wouldn't have been some African troops in Xerxe's army. I mean, didn't Persia rule over 1000 over kingdoms? I would assume some of which would have been in Africa.

The Persian empire did extend to Ethiopia, and it would not be unlikely that there'd be Africans in the army, but them making up a large portion of the army AND two emissaries would have been unlikely.
