I know this comes off as pure trollery, but as I was watching the chariot race, I couldn't help admiring what amazing creatures these horses were. Then I thought of the rumors about a stunt man dying, so I looked it up.
Apparently, the stuntman dying is an urban legend, but the stuntmen on set said that the second unit director was so far behind that he killed upwards of 100 horses to get the scene done.
This ruined the movie for me. I know, bleedin' heart and all that, but it was a splash of cold water to go from, "these animals are amazing in this" to "Breezy churned through them like someone with a cold churns through tissue."

Just my own experience.
