No respect for THE timeless Classic!!

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2004)

Seeing Troy is unbearable to anyone who has a minimum culture. The way they turned THE most timeless classic of all times into a false cheap rubbish movie is unbearable. Everything is false: parts of story that don't exist, other parts twisted until betrayal, main hero characters killed when they were supposed to stay alive and spared when they were supposed to die, the plot completely changed to suit Hollywood standards, a ridiculous love story between Achilles and Briseis, Helen looking double her age, old wise Priam turned into a weepy war geek, Agamemnon and Menelaus (who were supposed to be middle age, nice looking Greek princes) turned into old red-bearded Saxon folks, noble Ajax turned into some kind of brute caveman, war formations that did not exist at the time, completely inaccurate clothing and armors. And I could go on. The only thing that is OK is Brad Pitt's casting. He's perfect with the muscles and blonde hair. But Achilles was supposed to have a shiny golden armor, not a black dull Gothic-like one.
