The Film that Launched a Thousand Lunches!

Rating: 2/10 (3 July 2005)

In this day and age of cinema special effects and expert editing, how did this movie ever make it to the theaters?
Did they even use an editor or director, for that matter, on this flick? See if you can spot the microphone boom shadows, in several scenes!
The acting is horrendous, where did they find Helen? She's a great looker, but an actress, give it up Diane!
The battle scenes are atrocious, overly choreographed to the point that the warriors look as though they are dancing.
My only kudos go to Peter O'Toole for the depiction of his plea to Achilles for the proper burial of his son. Sadly, Peter, the plea should have been for the burial of this flick before it's release!
By the way Brad, get a linguist coach, you can afford it. Your depiction of the Greek warrior Achilles with a Sussex, England meets Knoxville, Tennesee dialect, just doesn't cut it pal!
Next time, follow the current Hollywood game plan of making a blockbuster instead of going with "Plan B"!
