The darkness I loathed... I don't enjoy watching two hours of dark, dreary scenery. Furthermore, in ancient Greece, all the Spartans have glistening, ripped, smooth, hairless chests? Really? And I've never been to Greece but I'm rather sure they don't have big, gaping bottomless pits laying around. And the wolf--belonged in a fairy tale cartoon, not in an adult movie I'm supposed to take seriously. The greatest tragedy is that this sort of dreary, comic book-like fantasy film has spread all over the industry. Clash seems to echo these nauseating sentiments.
The big gaping pit was a water well, Historically Xerxes emissaries were thrown into wells by the Greeks,The Persian demanded food and water for their soldiers and the submission of the Greeks, The Greeks said "you want water here you go" hurling the envoy down the well". The Wells definitely weren't Bottomless.
Anyone with the smallest degree of intelligence would immediately realize that the movie is not historically accurate, *Especially when the Giant ogres with blades for arms showed up*.
Frank Miller didn't give them torso armor since he thought they "looked better bare-chested" .
I liked 300, Sure its full of shit It was still fun to watch, It was far more enjoyable then Clash of the CG monsters.
