What was that!

Rating: 3/10 (15 May 2004)

*SPOILERS*
I am a big fan of Homer, and I thoroughly enjoy The Illiad and The Odessey, and Troy simply did not match up. When the story is thousands of years old and known around the world you would think that the movie would follow the storyline, but it didn't. The wrong people die, the wrong people live and the ending is wrong. How can you tell Troy like that. Now if they want to make the Odessey they would have to cut out alot. I went into this film very excited, an amazing cast and a brilliant director... but it failed my expectations in horrible fashion. If they cut out the gods they should have cut them all out, including Achillies' mother. They made Agamenmon the clear cut bad guy, when there was no clear cut bad guy... not to mention the fact that he died! Paris was supposed to die and not get Helen and she is supposed to go back to Sparta with her husband, who didn't die at the beginning.
If you are going to tell a story, tell it right.
1/5
