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.
