Very interesting film

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2004)

It has been years since I've read Homer's epic, so some details have slipped my mind. The filmmakers do make some changes, but none that struck me as so awful it diverted my attention.
This film is 2 hours and 45 minutes long. Therefore, if you're going expecting to see one long bloody battle, reconsider. Much time is spent on the human relationships and the characters- thus making the audience care before someone is killed in battle.
THis film is for those who have read, actually understood and appreciated Homer. If this isn't you and you are one who loves bloody battles with little dialogue or character/relationship development, I suggest skipping. Otherwise, you will probably enjoy this.
My score 9/10
