Astonishing!

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2004)

Holy crap! After watching this movie people in the theatre where just stunned...
Pitt is maybe not all that good, but man! Eric Bana as Hector is brilliant as well you can really see that this is Petersen's homefield.
It doesn't use much of the gods (maybe a little in the scene with Achilles' mother) But that is alright.
And you cannot help yourself but to support both sides, and there was nothing more painful than watching the Trojans taking in the horse.
Doesn't follow the Iliat as much as LOTR followed LOTR but the outcome is really just good, one of the best movies i've seen...
