compare it to Helen of Troy

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2004)

Folks, this is about something that happened 3000 years ago! And the movie is great! Huge, panoramic views (probably computer generated armies), nice armors (I especially liked the shields), great fights and close-combat scenes. And the story ... we all know it. The movie is not perfect, but that does not matter. I watched Helen of Troy before this movie, and I think this one is better. Perhaps Achilles is much more handsome (Brad Pitt, poor guy :)) than the guy in Helen of Troy, and the wooden horse is much close to the reality. The horse in Helen of Troy is like an out-of-box shining toy. And finally: Helen is not so beautiful at all. So, those of you who didn't see the movie, go now and enjoy it!
