At first I felt the same (that is, when I saw the promos and realized it was not based on what happened), but when I saw it I realized clearly that this is fantasy - it's based on a comic book and is in no way intended to be a retelling of the events.

In a different way, but similar to Titanic, which created a fantasy story around real events.

So if you saw the movie expecting a realistic interpretation of the battle at the Hot Gates, obviously you were disappointed.
