not good *spoiler*

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2004)

I'm a huge fan of Brad Pitt, but I guess even the best slip every once in a while. Too bad for a movie that carried so much hype (great trailers). Yes, we all know how the story goes, but that doesn't mean we couldn't appreciate it. The storyline was accurate (true story?), but it simply lacked DEPTH. The cast was great, but the script didn't fit. The movie is still entertaining though, great fight scenes, pretty faces and even good acting (Eric Bana). Gladiator is 10 times better than this epic, hands down. I love Brad, but Achilles just wasn't the right role for him. I hope next time Wolfgang spends as much time on the writing as much as he did on the graphics. DISAPPOINTING!!!
