And yet the film starts with the heroes proudly explaining (or is it defending?) their policy of institutionalised infanticide and child abuse. How "good" is that?

The queen's bargain I find slightly harder to rationalise as it was added by the film makers but even so it didn't jar with me ... I don't recall if that section was narrated or not? As I accepted that as literal truth, and knowing a little about Spartan society that section is not quite so implausible as one might think.
