Pretty long ho-hum stuff

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2004)

Just finished seeing this rather shallow and tedious film. But in spite of it all, I think I enjoyed it in the long run. I found the situation easy to follow and (I am not sure how true it is to the Iliad) finally got the whole thing about the horse and the heel. Nobody has mentioned much about it, but I liked Julie Christie's little cameo as Brad Pitt's mother. She tried to teach him something about life. It would have been nice if she had thrown in a little advice about acting. But, as the main review says here, it was VERY long and my butt was getting as bored sitting as my mind was frustrated trying to find a little emotion. My opinion: fun but go for a drink after.
