Good Movie that ignored the mythology

Rating: 6/10 (4 December 2006)

I was very disappointed in the way that this movie tried to rewrite the mythology. The movie itself was entertaining and the battle scenes and acting were good, but it didn't adapt very well from myth into screenplay (whereas movie like LOTR did). I do think that the movie was legitimately well made.
Do not see this movie if you are like me and interested in the mythology and interested in seeing it come to life.
However, if you really don't care very much about the classics, this movie could end up being right up your alley. Its a fairly normal Hollywood attempt to recreate someone else's work. It does a decent job of documenting the fall of Troy and you might come out enjoying it. The differences between the movie and the myth are pretty extreme though for the educated viewer.
