As with many movies these days which are supposedly based off a book, apparently writers and directors embark in these "epic" movies without even reading or knowing by heart the book which they're trying to depict.
I read the book after watching the movie and I must say that every page I turned, made me more disappointed with the lack of even the slightest similarity with it's originating book. The sad part of all this is they actually tell a whole other story, totally different and they pretend to be teaching the new generations about an ages old epic.
In conclusion, they should have called this movie something like "A story from ancient times" and then not use any names from the Illiad, which is completely desecrated by this movie.
