Not much new here ... just a remake

Rating: 6/10 (16 January 2005)

What bothers me the most about this epic is that an entire war was fought over a woman. Will men ever learn that "she" is not worth it? She is not worth it at all.
Aside from that... This is just a remake. Different actors, better special effects, and better costumes. But this is still just a remake. Hollywood needs to do something new.
And why do movies like these always seem to be released in pairs? Troy and Alexander. The two movies about volcanoes. The two movies about asteroids.
It was fine as a rental (it breaks the monotony of TV), and I'm glad that I didn't spend my money to see it in the theaters. I would never buy it.
