People also made a big thing out of the helmets being period-inaccurate. Which they absolutely are, but it was weird how people seemed to care so much for this movie in particular, whereas no-one seemed to give a shit about all the inaccuracies in the Gladiator movies for example.
Also, I bet a lot of the people complaining about that loved 300 and will tell people how it's actually really deep and has an important message
The message of 300 was deep. We need more hot man on man action films.
If I paint abs on my flap does it count?
of course it counts! it's my only hope
They were very upset about Denzel being in Rome.
Hasn't pretty much every period piece ever produced been criticized through the lens of historical accuracy?
...not barry lyndon...
Do you know that for a fact? Or did you just not pay attention?
