How did this get a 7.0??

Rating: 4/10 (28 October 2004)

Since it's been a while since I've seen this film, I can't comment on much of the content because of the very fact that it was not memorable at all, and I tend to hide bad movies deep into the constructs of my subconscious. I do remember that it dragged on way too long; it was cheesy, the music score was awful, Brad Pitt does looks hot without his shirt, but was a waste of a talented actor, and what was with Helen of Troy? Better casting should have been in order, she was definitely not what I'd think of as the "most beautiful woman in the world": cute and playmate potential, but worth fighting wars for, come on! Anyways, my advice... DON'T see this contrived Cliff's Notes version of the classic Greek myth, Gladiator wannabe of a film that had so much potential, but left me feeling thoroughly disappointed!
