I've gotta go with Tiptup here. I don't see how the goat is any more ridiculous than any of the other goofy stuff. And the movie had PLENTY of goofy stuff. But it doesn't matter. It's not a by-the-book account of the battle, rather a great looking, albeit shallow, film that apologizes for nothing and is solely interested in demonstrating what the definition of "ass-kicking" is. And it succeeds.
