The Greek History is rich in stories and we do get to see a piece of resistance, but while it is quite one sided mostly, there is also a light side shown on the enemies face. Not to mention that there are some very bad hombres ... wait I mean bad people who fight or rather betray their own folk (the Greeks that is).
Cliches are there and the story is predictable, but the pathos can be quite animating and can get one riled up too. It's not as insane as "This is madness"/"This is Sparta", but that was more of an action movie overall. So while I can not vouch for historical accuracy on many things, it is not how I watched this anyway. While very dear to the hearts of Greeks in general, this also can be seen and enjoyed as piece of resistance and human revolt against dictatorship and "evil"
