Yeah, some people have complained that compared to Persia, the Greeks were really just a bunch of barbarians who paid lip service to democracy and that's it. That everyone would've been better off if the Persians had won it.
But my take-away was that: "Even if you're an empire with liberal policies, a multi-ethnic, multi-religious population and a huge military force, don't expect your opponents to roll over and die just because they're wrong".
On the other hand—that movie rocked! Did you see the part where the guy was all like "YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!" and the Greek dude was all "Bring It!" and they did, but then the Greek guys just tore into 'em and then pushed them off a cliff? That totally rocked!
