Come back "Troy" - all is forgiven.

Rating: 3/10 (18 November 2004)

It all starts out very badly with Anthony Hopkins wandering in circles, for what seems like an age, setting up the story we are about to experience. The scene is poorly lit, poorly written and Hopkins, frankly, has been better. After a few minutes you find yourself thinking, "This is like a tired studio picture from the 60's." Shortly afterwards you revise that view down a notch or two and say to your partner: "Is it me or is this awful?"
The picture never recovers and, as you leave checking your watch, wonder: "What were they thinking?" Again you think they could have made a dozen fabulous smaller pictures with half the budget of this uninspiring snooze-fest.
Grrr!
