Great!

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2005)

Well...to be honest any film with Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt running around with swords in skirts isn't going to get a low vote from me! I loved Pitt's character Achilles, he was brave, sexy, kind and full of morals and slightly broody. Brad always gives a good acting performance and i definitely wasn't disappointed. I even cried when he died!! Although I am usually a fan of Orlando I really think that he let himself down by choosing this part. He played a wimp and his character kept on changing throughout the film. One minute he could not tell his sword from his foot and the next he was a champion archer!! I just felt that his character was a bit weak. The battle scenes were also fantastic, but the real star of the film was Eric Bana. He was brave and gave a very convincing and compelling performance. I 'almost' (but not quite) started to hate Achilles for killing him! He also bailed out his pathetic coward of a brother.
I love this film and would recommend it to anyone for Brad Pitt's legs alone!
