You're right though, the commercials did give a bit away about the monsters. I think I was dissapointed as soon as I saw that on the commercials mind you as before that it looked like it could be a true historical epic. I must admit that I wasn't expecting too much going into it. Regardless, I wasn't much of a fan.
Oh jesus christ, another uninformed basher. Did you pay attention to some of the trailers that mentioned "from the creator of Sin city" (frank miller)? "300" is a graphic novel (or comic book) adaptations. It is in no way a "historically accuate" movie as it is based off a piece of fiction. That and they made it to be over-the-top.

And just incase you're skeptical in believing me here's something from the IMDB trivia page.

"The movie never claims to be historically correct. It is based somewhat loosely on Frank Miller's 1998 comic book mini-series. Changes from history were made by Miller and Snyder so as to appeal to a wider audience and create a more exciting and visually stunning action movie, rather than a typical historical epic."

I'm getting tired of seeing people sling mud on the movie for being historically inaccurate.
