ok but not great..

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 2004)

If I am not mistaken in the Iliad the actual Trojian War took 10 years. This film made it look like it took 3 days. A lot of details did not match the Iliad. For example Achilles was killed before the walls of Troy were breached, and it wasn't Paris who advised Priam to burn the Horse Statue, and many others. I was also expecting Achilles armor to be more lavish since in the Iliad his armor were carefully designed by the gods. It was disappointing on many levels. However, I do not think it was such an aweful film. The battles scenes and action is pretty good. I just wish this movie would have done more justice to Homer's poetry.
