Thanks Trey, well-balanced review.
Jona, it's something on the big screen about Persians losing a battle, and not being portrayed very nicely at that. If that had been about Dutch, I'd have protested too.
The timing does not help, either, but then I doubt that the current state of world politics was taken into account when the decision was made to actually make this movie.
So maybe we should leave it at that, and leave the rest to personal taste of each individual?
