Should have been called "Brad"

Rating: 3/10 (8 November 2005)

Just watched this for the first time only because nothing else was on the TV. I was pretty much laughing at how rubbish it was throughout the whole movie. All I saw were variations of "shots of pretty Brad Pitt" through the whole thing.
I will say the acting wasn't bad, and didn't think there were any bad performances, including Brad Pitt. However the directing was just atrocious. Wolfgang whats-his-face really took away from the greatness of the Iliad, and made it a trashy, modern, sole-less, money-spinner.
If you like actioned packed movies with little to think about, this one is for you. Otherwise go and watch "City of God" or "Amelie" or "Shawshank".
