It's the movie that shows what Hollywood is all about

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2005)

How is it possible to adapt a great story, which stood through the ages, in a way that makes you sorry for all the people in Hollywood, who think only about money and show? It is not an adaptation - it is a pitiful attempt to get more money! In Homer's book the divine is above all, gods watch over the people of the world and control them. Gods are above all. And in the book is told the story of the greatest battle of all times - between men, between gods. In this movie - a renegade warrior (Achilles) stands against the gods and stands between the victory of Greece over the undefeatable army of Troy.
I prefer the fairy-tale manner, the manner in which Homer told the story - not the political and factological interpretation of the book. Looking at it in that way this is not an adaptation of the book - it is purely a historical movie, spoiled by Americans, hungry for action and show!
This is the proof that no longer good movies are made in Hollywood! Nowadays everybody is concerned about the American dream and nobody cares what it will take to get more money - even if it is spoiling the greatest book of all times!
