Entertaining Film

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2007)

Viewed older versions of stories dealing with the Greeks and the Trojan Nation and of course, the Trojan Horse. There were different versions with Archilles and how his wounded heel brought his life to a crashing end and in this picture it is quickly done without you even noticing it.
This film gave a completely different outlook on the picture with great scenes of battles and how balls of fire went crashing to the Greek encampment near the sea along with a great cast of actors. Thought that Archilles, (Brad Pitt) and Helen of Troy, (Diane Kruger) both gave outstanding performances. Whenever Hollywood makes a film about History, you can always count on the facts to be distorted and completely cut out of a film: I would not be too critical of a picture like this because it is not a documentary film which gives accurate details. I found this film to be great compared to the older films depicting the story of Troy.
