Is this Homers epic or just another episode of The Simpsons?

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2004)

From the beginning, I was wondering how this movie would deal with the original Homers Epic!It didn't take long to find out that the script was totally altered! Major events were absent while some new ones were introduced! I just can't understand the logic that the producer followed to decide which part of the epic should be left off and which should be emphasized! For example the Trojans were apparently more religious, while the Greeks were presented as plain barbarians with no respect for religion!This is only an example of course! I just don't want to bother myself trying to explore every other weakness of the movies historical background!!! Finally i must say that i found disturbing the fact that the original epic is interpreted very poorly in this film! I wonder how the public would have reacted to a similar interpretation of the Tolkiens Lord Of The Rings trilogy! It should be also at least 3 episodes! But the famous name of Troy seems to be good enough by itself to call for audience and cash!
If someone can't do the best then he should leave it to the rest!
