Homers great Epic? More like Homer Simpson's!

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2004)

I cannot for the life of me work out what inspired the making of this movie.
The story it tells is so short and simple, and not the Tolkien-esque grand story that is just dying to be told on screen. This 'Epic' movie draws out the plot so much that myself and people around me in the theater were looking at their watches! OK, it had its good moments, but like Kill Bill vol 2, were few too many and didn't hold the weak story. Shame really, because the production values were obvious, the cast great, the fighting scenes cool, and the nudity kept the women awake. Brad Pitt said that all the characters he ever played were the build up to Achilles. Oh dear Brad, better go get yourself a regular spot on a TV show. Try Joey, I'm sure the Mrs can have a word with Matt and get you on
