bad acted & rushed

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2004)

i was really excited about seeing this movie but upon leaving was extremely disappointed. in my opinion brad pitt is a good actor but alas not in this movie. the fight scenes are poorly done with the fight between hector & achilles being the only saviour.i hear it cost $132 million to make? & to compare the battle sequences to the lord of the rings trilogy is a joke. if peter jackson made this film we would all be in awe but instead we are left with a poorly scripted wooden acted mess. not even the mighty acting skills of brian cox & peter o'toole can save this mish-mash of a film. maybe worth a look but not a recommendation from me i'm afriad. 4 out of 10 markypee
