An exciting epic movie that stays interesting till the end

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2004)

Numerous characters from opposing sides make this more than just a war
movie. Historically based on the Illiad, it follows the myth with some
embellishments. Brad Pitt is a multi-faceted character as Achilles, a egocentric warrior with a tender side. His romance with a Trojan noblewoman is sensually engrossing and contrasts sharply with the battle scenes. The other actors all added to make this an interesting representation of the ancient Greek/Trojan
conflict.
