Well done, but the music

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2004)

The film adapted a classic piece of literature and did an excellent job. The acting was great, with notable members of both LOTR and Braveheart making appearances.
The one thing I did find distracting was the music, it just didn't fit. It felt like a copy of the Gladiator soundtrack, only poorly mixed in with the scenes of the film.
Digital Editing was superb throughout the film, and the scenery and sets were beautifully done.
Bana was the most rememberable character in the film as the wise and loving Hector, not to diminish the other actors and actresses. Cox once again played the 'villain' perfectly as the greed and power hungry Agamemnon.
O'Toole, Pitt, Bloom, Bean, & Gleeson, were all excellent, each shining in his role. Though I feel Beans role deserved to be expanded.
The First True Blockbuster of 2004.
