Immortals were nothing more than grotesque looking humans!!!

How many empires in our history have been 'top-drawer'? I'll give you a hint "starts with 'z' and end's with a 'o'...

The similarities to this movie and Rome (HBO) are great. Watching Rome last night, after watching 300 in the morning meant my day was pretty testosterone packed.

He is freaking Gerard Butler, who played the Phantom in the movie version of Phantom of the Opera. Really different roles...he's awesome. I was really impressed with him.

Agreed. The first time I saw him was in Dear Frankie. He had quite a presence about him.

They were called The Immortals but I hear they looked like orcs in the movie and were shown to be terrible people. Edit, not sure about terrible people, but the really bad guys, the evil people.

Well they were the ones trying to conquer the world so it's kind of hard to NOT portray them as the bad guys?

:D

So how tall is the actor who plays the Persian "god/king" ? He looked like
a giant compared to everyone else.

How about you go see a movie before you try to talk about it.

Better yet...

:p I signed it just because I'm Persian. They have a point, but unless I am totally disgusted by how they portray them in the movie then I don't care because if it was any other empire it wouldn't matter to me what they made them look like probably.

i'm sorry, but i feel sorry for you. being offended by something that is CLEARLY fantasy, and is laden with fanciful fiction. if you had seen this portrayal on the History Channel in some documentary, then be offended. BUT, this is make believe.

its people such as yourself that is making America less and less livable, with your Politically Correct banter.

Yeah, Nasser. Don't worry about what these meanies are saying. They have coodies.

But I hope you admit to never having been to Chipotle.

Now, if we Americans could bind together like the "Persians", we might be in better shape.
