Yes, of course the aim portrayed in the movie to protect freedom was right, the methods portrayed though were in dire need of refinement, and made me wish all these folks had put more strain on developing their minds and less on developing their muscles.
But then I do as well feel that these fellows were warriors and kings, and did express strength and courage, so I felt sad and angry at all these guys marching off on a suicide mission when better sense and a little more subtlety could have prevented that outcome and still got Sparta saved. Such a waste...
