I don’t think it has anything to do with ‘Rome–Greece’. The story line and the characters make the film. Some films are just done poorly. Often the director gets too far away from the story in trying to make a film more popular. They can take a very good story and destroy it with Hollywood.

The culture of ancient Rome is viewed as more perverse and pious than ancient Greece. Furthermore, the romans are pictured more as blue eyed blonds, while the greeks a pictured more as darker skinned, with black hair. Yes, appearance is everything for a lot of people.
