repetitive

Rating: 6/10 (5 June 2004)

Overrated... very overrated, must be because of Brad Pitt. But Diane Kruger is beautiful, so that makes up for a lot. Basically the story just goes: Big battle, main character dies, they put coins on his eyes and burn him...
Next big battle, next main character dies, again coins, again burning and so on and so on... Guess this is not how Homer wanted the movie to be. His story could be converted to a better movie. The second half makes the movie bearable. Go see it anyway, Diane Kruger (as Helen) makes it worth your while.
