Something for everyone

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2004)

I have been waiting in anticipation for this movie for ages - and I wasnt disapointed! I adore historical epics (but have never read the Iliad),the eye candy on offer didnt hurt either. i dont really care if the story was true to its source material or not - I found it to be exciting and gripping. The sets and costumes looked great - I really felt transported to another time and place. Boys - this would be a great date movie - your girl will appreciate the buff muscles and you will love the amazing fight sequences. the running time was no problem for me- I did not want it to end and will be back for a second look. Stop worrying about the doubters and enjoy it for the rich, exciting visual trip that it is.
