Not excellent, but good enough

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2004)

The movie is helped by a beautiful story which mixes love, brotherhood, ambition, and a whole set of emotions which keep you hooked during most part of it. The casting in my opinion is good, there is no doubt of it, and the scenes were well developed, well choreographed specially fighting one on one scenes. I haven't read the Iliad, but it made me want to do it now, and people who have both watched the movie and read the book agree that is a o.k condensation, and as many people say, it would be almost impossible to make everything the story tells in such amount of time.
Definitely if you want to watch a good movie and keep entertained for 2 hours and a half, go for it.
