Quite possibly the movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2004)

I was expecting the movie to be good, no doubt about it, however, good no longer expresses the magnitude of how absolutely blown away I was after seeing it. The story was amazing, the fight scenes, although not as bloody as Braveheart almost seemed even more well done. The acting is among the best I've seen, led by the infamous Brad Pitt as Achilles. Eric Bana gives an incredible performance, as well as orlando Bloom shaking off the type-cast of Legolas. Overall probably the best movie I've ever seen, which is a tall order, I won over 500 DVD's and almost never give even the greatest movies a spot in my top 20. The special effects didn't seem life effects at all, the immense size of the production was breathtaking, the plot was extremely accurately portrayed (with the exception of the lack of Gods and Goddesses in this version as compared to the Iliad).
