Pitt was perfect!

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2004)

Battle scenes were excellent graphic portrayals. Pitt's acting has reached a new high along with Bana's thoughtful role. I was delighted with Brain Cox's evil performance and the grand Peter O'Toole who never ceases to bring splendor in every word. As we watch the daily mayhem of the Middle East war in our own time I felt the script brought from the past ages the agony and insanity of all man's conflicts with other nations. The modern age of computer graphics has enabled us to view from "above" vast spectacles we could have never imagined. I enjoyed the escape back to Homer's epic poems despite the fact that I kept thinking, "Here we are all over again waging wars with each other"
