Oh so sensitive pretty boys as action heroes? What a joke!

Oh so sensitive pretty boys as action heroes? What a joke. Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, and Orlando Bloom look like they stepped right out off the "Lifetime Network" .
Homer's story has stood for 5000 years and Wolfgang Peterson has the chutzpah to think he can rewrite it? 2000 years from now people will still be reading Homer's version. Two months from now people will have completely forgotten about this lightweight effort and it's lightweight stars.
What's next? A rewrite of the Bible with a happier ending? At least the special effects were good and Brian Cox and Brendan Gleeson put in believable efforts as Agamemnon and Menelaus.
