Waited for 10 years and hated all the way

Rating: 5/10 (11 September 2007)

This is my first comment on any movie, am lazy but need to make my point. This is was one greatest epic which was taught in our classrooms at age of 12 and we identified the characters among ourselves. Achilles being a greatest hero without fear, Ulysses stands for wisdom, Agamemnon a selfish ruler... I expected the movie would be materialized some day and I thought would be the happiest person on earth to watch it.
I was wrong. The movie was biased to producer (Brad Pitt) and story flawed at several places. Many good characters were cut off, the greatest movements in book I read were never shown on screen. There were some of hair raising movements when I read the book, and I expected they would shoot them beautifully and they were never taken care off.
I give rating as 5 for making a movie I was waiting for...else I would really hate it for manipulating the original story...
I would agree it was shot beautifully, but the real soul was missing. People with out the knowledge of the original story would really love it, but this is one of those great epics which will be taught in most of the countries world wide..
