Boo

Rating: 4/10 (26 June 2004)

Poor attempt to picture epic battle for Troy; seeing 'Legolas' and 'Boromir' makes you think what's keeping the Ents so long. The job of picturing a massive battle scene is not good; too much flaws, too 'bad' animations (with repetitive objects). I expect Das Boot's Wolfgang to do much better. "Pretty boy" Pitt doesn't seem to fit in this rough work. Too much scenes look forced regarding the buildup of drama / tension (like the one where Achilles challenges Hector). And oh yeah, they had to put in a horse (no one seems to bother to examine it .. but hey, it's made after the legend, so why bother.. but it looks stupid anyway), en of course Achilles and his heel thingie .. End looks like a rush job, not good. Well, at least I didn't fall asleep during the movie, so therefor I rated it a 4!
