Sequel not possible

Rating: 4/10 (12 May 2005)

A sequel is not possible as this film killed off several of the characters that are important in the Odyssey. Believe me, the books (Iliad and Odyssey) are better. The interaction of the gods with the mortals is really the crux of the story so it was a bit strange for them to be completely left out (except for Achilles' mum) Different gods take different sides and to settle scores with other gods. I was a bit surprised that the story could be changed to such an extent and still claim to have some connection to Homer's story. Brad Pitt was more wooden than the horse, Peter O'Toole was very good and Sean Bean should be more particular about his wigs.
