Short is better.

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2004)

One good sword duel (Achiles vs Hector) and an excellent monologue (Peter O'Tool as Priam in Achiles' tent) are not enough to explain such long, boring footage, and poor dialogue. Forty years of technology do not provide more exciting battles, crowd scenes, and fake statues and scenarios than they did at La Cinecità, in Italy, when they did excellent sword-and-sandal "peplums". Homer would die, if he heard "his script" treated like this... Sure, his story was longer, divided into two volumes (à la Kill Bill, oh so modern) but his poetic prose is great - even today. Short comments are better than longer ones, but I had to add this to make it longer than 10 lines - modernity, and IMdb, impose it on me.
