Don't make a historical movie if you don't care about the story.

Rating: 1/10 (24 October 2006)

This movie is terrible!
I've read the ilias/Iliad and every action in the movie is the opposit of the story.
1: Agamemnon is NOT the king of the Greeks. Greeks did not even existed back then. He was only the leader.
2: Agamemnon doesn't die at Troy. 3: Menelaos does not die at Troy. 4: Aias/Ajax is not killed by Hector but committed suicide. 5: Paris DOES die! 6: Helena goes back to Mycene with Menelaos. 7: The wooden horse is build for Athena and not for Poseidon. 8: Patroklos is Achilles friend and not a relative.
So that sucks big time.
I have one positive comment. The battle between Hector and Achilles. It does not happen that way (Hector flees and Achilles chases him around the city), but the scene shows what a great fighter Hector was.
If you like the book you don't like this movie. If you don't know the book than it's just another action-movie.
