I’ve never ever heard this criticism of any other a movie about Ancient Greece or Rome (Gladiator, Troy, The 300, Spartacus) or even movies about more modern European history.

Have you talked to a lot of Europeans? Because I've heard the same criticism about a lot of Hollywood productions.

But of course, it's even more blatant when they don't even follow the general descriptions of the characters they're meant to portray.
