Best War Film Ever!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2006)

This movie is by far the most impressive war film to date. Yes, that's right, it deserves to be better than Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, and Gladiator as well. Brian Cox is absolutely ferocious as Agamemnon and Brad Pitt is as good as he gets playing Achilles. Eric Bana brings amazing honor and devotion to the role of Hector, especially when he delivers the movie's best line, "Honor the Gods, Love your women, and Defend your country!" This spectacular production offers battle sequences UNLIKE ANY OTHER, both epic-scale and man-to-man. An amazing retelling of Homer's "The Illiad." Thankfully, Orlando Bloom is there to bring his stupidity and selfishness to the role of the callow Trojan Prince Paris. By the way, it got completely robbed at the Oscars of 2005 and it still should have one its only nomination for Best Costume Design over "The Aviator."
