Who cares it is a bad adaptation.. it is super entertaining and stunning..!

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2012)

Some times i wonder what critics look in reviewing a movie which focuses on old mythological tales. Will they know for sure that the real transcripts uncovered are really real? Why cant they simply review the movie for its handling purely based on fiction? just like they bow and salute movies of Quintino mindless Tarantino ( i was referring to his Inglorious Basterds).
This movie has everything one could ask for.. Beautiful Visuals, a funny yet tragic story, Competent direction with an eye for razor-sharp combats, and the grandeur of Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Brian Cox. The movie makers may have made a blunder in selecting Pale and ordinary Diane Kruger for the role of the most beautiful woman of Greece, but i do understand the true intentions of Wolfgang Petersen. The close combat scene of Achilles and Hector is one of the best in cinematic history i should say.. Even the opening scene with Achilles piercing the contender in the 1-1 battle. Brad Pitt and Eric Bana duo ably carry the movie from start to end. Overall, after forgetting the historic glitches, this movie excels in every department and truly a master blockbuster.
