I agree with you of course, Hollywood is Hollywood, however I feel the choreographers used the tools at hand (the shield, spear and short sword) to great effect, the moves have a fluid and natural motion and lend themselves well to the weapons and vice-versa, it is not unreasonable to assume that similiar techniques were used by ancient warriors.
