Cheezy:
Watching Leonidas yell "SPAARTAA!" is first of all cheezy hollywoodism, and totally opposite of how real Spartans behaved, they were known to be low-key and "laconic" (a modern word, but based on Sparta's homeland "Lakedaimon"), yet intimidating in their own peculiar way.
Cringeworthy:
Xerxes II is portrayed as Negroid with piercings, no beard. He, of course, was Caucasoid (Iranian), with a beard. Piercings. The rest of the Persians are shown as orcs. 
Armored war-Rhinoceros.. More like Lord of the Rings...
But.. straying off topic.
Saying a bug is due to FADE is a great propaganda tool to play down the real bugs.

Yea thats what stopped me from going to see 300. (that any to save money)
Sparte was a glorius city in its own right, it doesn't need some fantasy crud to get any respect and admiration.
