There is no real white supremisist angle, sorry. It's a dumb macho war movie explicitly told by one side which is slanted as hell. Of course the Spartan telling the story is going to paint their enemy in a bad light. It's that whole us versus them simple minded bullshit that has been going on for all of human…

You still missed the point? Jesus Fucking Christ.

Agreed. The conclusion of this article is terrible. Like an elephant with diarrhea pooping on you terrible.

*facepalm* . Really!? How about thinking "it did though" required a counter argument? Did you seriously not realize what I was getting at? Seriously!? Go home kid, you're drunk. Or tired, or high or whatever. Have a good one.

The movie was like a 12 year old's conception of what adult badass warriors should be. It was popular because of that and also because it looked pretty (cool compositions, stylized violence and nice looking torsos).

Yeah, no. It taps into extreme macho dumbfuckery where being a badass trumps all else.

Nope I'm the boss or at least I will be once my buyout of the AV Club goes through and I'm a gonna take it down from the site.

Ok good you realized your earlier mistake. Apology accepted.

HA HA HA HA HA. Entertainment is discussed here doofus. Including plot points of shows including possible plot holes.

But my dignity and self respect are priceless! Which is another way of saying free.

"It did though". LOL. I love how you think that's a rebuttal. Amazing.

It's a movie based on a ridiculous comic book directed by a guy who had no business directing films.

To be fair, the word "Biblical" should always lead one to assume extreme historical inaccuracy.

Calling this article a think piece is an insult to thinking.

Five minutes is pretty good actually. If you know what you are doing.

Yeah I watched it and was very disappointed by the squandered cast. But I watched it because of the cast.

True but that's about on the same milestone level as getting cancer of the anus.
