This monstrosity was definitely not based on homers iliad and if anyone says the opposite not only he is ignorant but blaspheme as well.Not a single issue that makes homers epic great is mentioned here.Instead of that we watch a lengthy episode of the young and the restless.Maybe the writers should have made a better choice of ancient greek myths before producing this salad made of babble. I almost feel sorry for rufus sewell and stellan skaarsgard which i thought that by now they would have had the luxury to make better choices.They probably needed the money... Another comment: Why did Achilles have to look like a butcher?I guarantee he was not one. The movie was made in a hurry and looked cheap,the actors were confused,the director had no idea.
