Shortly after its release, Iranian bloggers and journalists were outraged by the movie. With headlines like "Hollywood Declares War on Iranians", they chastised the movie for its monstrous portrayal of the ancient Persians, ancestors of modern Iranians. A cultural adviser to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called it "American psychological warfare against Iran." Thus far, no mention has been made of the opening or closing scenes, which reveal that the Persians' portrayal is a result of the story being told from a Spartan's point of view, rather than an omniscient, contemporary viewpoint.
