Do you think this film will be remembered in 6 months?
Here it's being seen as funny and almost certainly a candyfloss film that will be forgotten about.
And as for the abdominal showmen...
Does the film really have "ninjas" in it as reviews here have mentioned along with giants and rhinos, for which there seems no historical data?
If it's just a story I wonder why it was necessary to start with a real point in history.
Paul Cartledge, who wrote Thermopylae: The Battle That Changed The World and who was hired as a consultant has said he was only asked one thing. He said the name was spoken as LeonEEdas but the filmmakers went with LeonEYEdas anyway.
Follow Ups:
Hell yes. I think it will be one of the icons of this generation of films. Remember the critics are mixed onthis film. about 60% pro 40% con. Raiders of the lost ark, Bladerunner, The Matrix etc. They were all in about the same boat. Well, Bladerunner was actually a flop at the box office. Yes, i think this will be one of those films to this generation of younger movie goers.
... this week and get back to you on it!
Not that I can speak for younger movie goers any more...
But I do know a number of 30-odd-ish types who want to see it.
In my mid-50s I may not be the typical viewer... but I get to 2 or 3 films (at the cinema) a week and... well, why not?
