Great effects, no soul!

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2004)

I watched the movie today, and were disappointed.. Perhaps the reason was that I watched "Helen of Troy" just a couple of days ago, that story had wicked and evil , but great actor as Agamemnon.. Not as big a budget as "Troy", but still very decent special effects..
What can I say thats not already said before, nothing I guess except my own opinion, so here it comes:
The movie had great actors on paper, but why not use 'the talents of those. Brad Pitt had been a better Paris than Orlando. I couldn't see him as the greatest warrior of all time before the movie, and after; Heeeell no!! As said before, Agamemnon is evil, but not evil enough in Troy.. Achilles got no respect for him, thats OK, but they could have done the rivalry much more interesting.. I can't see before me a king like Agamemnon bow for any man, still he seemed to be a gutless creature..
A king like him, a warrior king, would for sure be a laughing stock for his whole empire if Achilles could go around unpunished for all those things he did..
Jeje, the movie is not great, but you should watch it.. It's not a total waste of time, but my opinion is that you get much more out of the time if you watch "Helen of Troy"
