yes! i tried to point that out earlier haha
Frank Miller took a battle which actually happened (as youve all pointed out) but he focused on the mythology of the event, for instance the persian leader being a 9-foot giant - clearly he wouldnt have been like that but the Persians believed that their leaders were demi-gods and Miller took that and used it. Ofcourse a comic book like that is going to have cheesy one-liners! It'd be fucking boring otherwise.
And since when were cheesy films a bad thing?!
