pure action stuff..

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2004)

Concerning the film,the thing which is the most significant it's Brad Pitt's outstanding performance as Achilleas.If you read Homer's Illiad Achilleas was just like that.Petersen was 100% correct to pick him for the role..The battle scenes were amazing..I mean that is what the Trojan war was...A war..not a love story.Too bad that there were many heroes that were never mentioned (like Diomedes,Teukros).and also that the Gods were engaged in the war aiding either the Greeks or the Trojans depending their mood..This movie it should have been like three movies...So many things left out..If you want to know what i am talking about just read Homer's Illiad..Anyway it is a great epic spectacle..and Brad pitt's evolution from movie to movie is great..He is one of the best right now..
