fails to impress

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2004)

There were two major issues that made me dislike the movie:
1. Lack of mythological aspects. I would have hoped that at least the legend of Achilles would have been explained. Now it's as if the public is being kept ignorant about his background. It would have given the story some extra depth and make everything more historically correct! Major elements are being left out as the Gods had an immensely big part in the life of the Romans.
2. Awful soundtrack. Nothing more to add here. They just didn't make their homework.
I rate this movie a mere 5/10 and I'm being generous.
