A list of what? The flaws? Heck, no. Any one of a dozen critics can list the flaws in the production, from historical inaccuracies to turgid dialog, to over-the-top performances. I didn't expect Thucydides (sp?), I just took a deep breath and enjoyed the spectacle.

Ummm the movie is based on a graphic novel so there were really no inaccuracies as it was true to the book. Now the book on the other hand was full of BS that didnt happen. As for over the top performances and bad dialog again comic book. As for production flaws i didnt notice any. For a better historical telling of the battle of Thermopylae read Gates of Fire. It's also becoming a movie.

They did the comic book VERY well. And.. I LIKED the turgid prose and ham acting! All the critics picked on the same things: half of them got snotty about it, and the other half said "Hey, I LIKED it!" I'm with THEM.
I really hope they do "Gates of Fire." It was excellent. The History channel just had a special on Thermopolyae that was quite good.

Yea I just watched that myself and I enjoyed it. The Gates of Fire movie is going to be directed by Michael Mann so hopefully it will be good. He did last of the mohicans and I liked that movie.
