How is an epic like that classified as Sci-Fi?

i guess because of all the gods/creatures/concepts in the movie. i wouldnt label it under sci-fi though...

It's a pretty good yarn for a sequil. I still prefer part 1, though!!

Part 1? Do you mean the Iliad? Good God...please don't butcher these classics. Homer's original books are a lot better then any of the movies made on these subjects.

The Iliad and Odyssey are also (IMO) some of the best pieces of literature ever written...i dont think may books can beat them...
