Not what I expected?

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2004)

In terms of this movie, I have to say: it is very hard to fit 10 years worth of fighting into 2 hrs. The characters were portrayed very well (Orlando as much as I love you I'm sorry but you are not one of them.)I am not a big fan of Eric Bana at all however he throughly impressed me. According to Illiad, Achilles loved his 'cousin' not Briseis. Oh well, they can't always get it right. If you are to see this movie, definitely see it in the theater regardless if you leave impressed or disappointed. The battle scenes are unforgettable and filmed very well. Let me just add one random little downfall: I would have definitely enjoyed this movie more minus the music. Yes, I am referring to the annoying bantering woman who may have been trying to outdo Gladiator's vocalist Lisa Gerrard. Someone put that woman out of her misery. I believe that the music makes the movie. This screeching had be covering my ears! Please, I repeat, please DO NOT BUY THIS SOUNDTRACK!! Save your money, spend it on something you don't need. :)
