Loved it

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2005)

I am reading Homer's Iliad these days and thought watching the movie will help me visualize the story. I actually lost track of time and had a good amount of adrenaline released in my circulation.
I think, criticizing the movie as too Hollywoodish doesn't make sense too me. If you're interested in more historical facts and less flamboyancy, well there are many documentaries about it. After all it is very likely that Homer's Iliad is a cluster of changed and exaggerated pieces of true history (if any) over half a millennium of oral poetry.
Ohh by the way,in my opinion Eric Bana's performance in this movie is far better than Brad Pitt or Orlando Bloom's.
