Worst movie, ever.

Rating: 1/10 (28 September 2004)

I've been reading other comments on this movie and here's my 2 cents:
This was by far one of the worst movies, ever. Period. They tried to make Brad Pitt another Charles Heston and that didn't work out for him considering this was not his best movie ever. Movies like Fight Club and Seven are where we see Pitt best... This movie makes me want to hit him.
The acting was not all that great by any of the characters except for Hector. He I actually believed.
The musical score blew beyond anything I've ever heard. It sort of reminded me of Gladiator but not nearly as good.
The historical aspects of the movie are extremely far off. The clothing and such was mostly correct, but there are things that were never even mentioned in the movie that played a larger role in the book. As far as I remember, Achilles was killed before the Trojan horse was brought into the city and he was killed in the middle of a battlefield, not alone. It was Odysseus who played a much larger role in the Iliad in the creation of the horse. Patrocklus is Achilles lover, not his cousin, and Achilles was fully aware that Patrocklus took his armor into the battlefield... Patrocklus even furthered them in the battlefield until he was struck dead by Hector. The Iliad ends with Hectors burial whereas the movie does not. Helen was also kidnapped... She did not go willingly. She was a prize won by Paris granted by... I want to say Aphrodites but I forget if it was her or Hera or the other goddess competing for the golden apple. Where are the gods and goddesses in this movie? The only goddess we are made aware of his Achilles mother and I don't recall her even being mentioned as a goddess (although I could be wrong).
I gave this movie a '1.' I wasn't aware that I went to see a comedy. This movie made me laugh all the way through. I especially loved Achilles "signature move."
