It's just a smurfing movie based on a smurfing comic book. At no point has ANY claim to historical accuracy been made in EITHER of the presentations. It wasn't meant to be 'slightly historically inaccurate' or anything like that, it was meant to be some fun based on a particular idea taken from history.

Thank you.

Everyone knows it's historically inaccurate, and no one here who's seen it and loved it really cares. It was never meant to be historically accurate, and if you expected that from anything done by Frank Miller, then I'm forced to laugh at you. It was inspired by the actual battle, but in no way tries to portray it with any sort of realism. In fact, the whole point was to exaggerate pretty much everything and tell it in a way that suited the story Frank Miller wanted to tell, and the battle scenes he wanted to draw. If you think anyone is surprised or angered by these facts you bring up (besides you of course), you're dreaming. Next thing you know you'll be ranting at how God of War is a complete travesty against history. But then, if you see why that'd be rediculous then maybe you can start to see why complaining about the inaccuracy of this movie is rediculous.

Try to look at the movie and the comic for what they were meant to be from the beginning. And for god's sake lighten up; you'll live longer.
