It's a great film, but I'm too much of a purist to enjoy it as much as I could have. Athena with two oriental kami? Apollo with a Sword? Ares with a hammer? And why doesn't Zeus unless a lightning spear or three (or ten, or twelve)? It's a cracking good fantasy romp and this is one of the best fight scenes, but the lack of "mythical accuracy" had me gritting me teeth all through this scene.
