Disappointing!!!!!

Rating: 4/10 (20 June 2004)

I cringed in the very first scene when Agamemnon brings his troops to subdue the next country into his empire; the first two rows of soldiers are European looking but the rest are Mexican extras (Aztecs in Ancient Greece?). Then I saw all this tropical vegetation including agave plants, yes, the ones used to make tequila; next I saw a couple of llamas inside the city of Troy; llamas are native to the Andes in South America. If you want to know what Greece looks like, remember the movie Captain's Corelli's Mandoline with Nicholas Cage an Penelope Cruz. It is very distracting to see a movie where the sets are so cheesy. Even though some of the acting was excellent (Eric Bana), I could not take this movie seriously and walked out after Hector Killed Menelaus.
