I did not enjoy the movie

Rating: 5/10 (4 May 2008)

The cinematic quality of the film was good I suppose but I don't approve of all of the changes made to the story when "The Illiad" was a good enough story to last thousands of years. The movie was good as long as you don't have a passion for Greek mythology.
My biggest problem with it is that many people will now believe that the Trojan War was just like the movie. There should have been a disclaimer that said that the movie was LOOSELY based on Homer's The Illiad. The fact is that there are some very important characters and events that were not included. I also didn't approve of the portrayal of Paris, not because of Orlando Bloom, he is a very talented actor and should be recognized as such, but because of the way the script was written. Paris was an arrogant, selfish prince who didn't care about the consequences of his actions.
