Star Trek vs. Star Wars (and a collection of memes)

Add to that the non-existent historical accuracy, and I do wonder why anyone thinks it's a good film

 

I did know it was based on the comic book, but both still refer to the original historical battle in the title and the very basic gist, and can thus still fool a cinemagoer who doesn't know about the comic book into thinking that that was how the Battle of Thermopylae was fought, and that was how the Spartans and Persians looked. It's not as if it were a fantasy story set in a unique fantasy world that borrows a lot of aesthetics from Greek myth, like the short-lived BBC Atlantis series was for instance. Funnily enough I'd say Atlantis, set in a unique Greek-inspired fantasy world, still better recreated Classical Age Greek arms and armour than 300
