Could be much better

Rating: 1/10 (22 March 2006)

I totally hated this movie, because it absolutely lacked any of the good aspects from Homers Ilias. Even 'Oddysey' was better, and that had awful action. Also, about the 'modern version' stuff??? We (Dutch Gymnasium-intellectuals) prefer a superb remake of a great myth, rather than a 'realistic' version of a mostly (if not totally) fictional story. Even the 'liberties' taken from the original story are totally unnecessary, such as Helena fleeing along with the Troyans and Aeneas being a young boy. The acting is also bad, but that's probably my own taste. All in all, the movie could be much better, if it wasn't meant as a blockbuster.
