Disapointing to say the least. It looked like this was going to be an epic movie with all of the special effects and great actors involved. I was let down by all except Bana who was fantastics (Pitt was OK). It lacked a soul. |

If they hadn't mangled Homer's work so thouroughly, or replaced the soundtrack with something inferior - it might have turned out much better. The acting and action are still good, but I can't overlook those other aspects. |

THE GIFT OF BETRAYAL |
|
Although not very faithful to the Greek mythologies, the film brings supercharged cinematic stunts that I'd consider trailblazing. A great recipe of high caliber cast: BRAD PITT (as ACHILLES), ORLANDO BLOOM (as PARIS), ERIC BANA (as HECTOR), DIANE KRUGER (as HELEN), and the non-fading PETER O'TOOLE (as KING PRIAM). I just didn't realize that you can wander away that far from the original manuscripts considering it to be an epic film. Obviously, there seemed to be an absence of the magical powers of the gods. Come to think of it, the gods were not even that involved at all. Also, the real TROJAN WAR lasted for 10 years against the film's portrayal of a few weeks. The film, nonetheless, was a smash hit! |

I thought this was a great movie. I love greek mythology and this movie tells the story of "The Illiad" (great book as well). There are 3 love stories embedded in this movie. 1. Helen and Paris. 2. Achilles and Briseis. 3. Hector and Andromache. The overall story is about the war between the greeks and the trojans. I'm not a huge fan of Brad Pitt, but he did a awesome job playing Achilles and Eric Bana was great as Hector. If you like epic stories, you'll love this movie. |

This had the potential to be one of the best movies i've ever seen, and Brad Pitt was perfect for the role of Achilles. What i didn't like was the overall directing. It had pretty good effects, but the vision of it made it look like it was made in the '80's. There wasn't really enough fighting either, and the main fight seen should've been bigger. The only thing i liked is that it was easy to follow, and it's overall just a good story |
