What a piece of garbage

Rating: 1/10 (18 May 2004)

it was somewhat pretty to look at but the dialog was dreadfully written, the acting was appalling and the even the continuity was bad.
Couldn't someone have had Brad Pitt use ONE accent, and not four? Couldn't they have written it EITHER in more flowery speech or more modern speech? Couldn't they have found someone to play Helen who COULD have launched a thousand ships instead of 3 or 4 canoes?
And where the HELL were the gods!!! Talk about missing the whole point! The gods CAN'T be extricated from the story. It would be like The Ten Commandments with no God, just the burning bush.
What a waste of 3 hours of my life.
