Great vistas do not an epic make

Rating: 4/10 (17 May 2004)

It's sad that the screenplay for this film is really bad. I like the actors, they deserved a lot better script. I think the director should have fired whoever wrote such lousy dialog. Though I don't think you can compare this so called epic with others, you can say that has far as an interesting storyline it really lacked a lot. No redeeming character, say for Hector. People playing characters that came from no where and went no where i.e. Sean Bean's Odysseus. And a really lame love story. Unfortunately the hunk, muscles tactic didn't work, especially for an entire three hours. Also the hunk characters, except for Hector and some scenes with Achilles make you want all of the characters to just die and get it over with.
As a side note, it's obvious they intended for Brad to be the star. They should have named the movie 'Achilles', maybe then I could forgive the stupid ending. No this is no epic. I was really glad when it was over. Too bad 4/10
