More action, less myth!

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2007)

First of all, I must say that the movie, with all it's settings, costumes and dialogue, was superb; but...what is it with movies of Greek Mythology not having any mythical scenes? I mean, considering how wonderful the costumes are, not to mention such a perfect cast of actors and actresses, I really would have been quite eager in seeing the Judgement of Paris! I would have found Angelina Jolie in the part of the red-haired goddess Hera, Famke Janssen in a golden war-dress as Athene and Rebecca-Roijn Stamos semi-nude with long falling golden curls as the beautiful Aphrodite quite breath-taking! p.s. Does anyone know if the sequel of The Odyssey is coming out with Sean Bean as Odysseus (as in Troy)? If yes, PLEASE help in making the director remember to put the Sirens in!
