The screen writer should be put against a wall and shot. At least he could have let live some people so we can have the rest of the tale. But, not. Apart from inventing a nice love story between Cassandra and Achilles, he spares Paris, who acts like a sissy, while he kills Menelaus, Ajax and Agamemnon, who never gets back to be murdered by Aegistos and Clitemnestra. Orestes and Electra sure got bored, playing parcheese with Iphigenia, never sacrificed in Aulis.

But, oh, yeh, teenie girls sure had a big time with Brad Pitt half naked around all the movie.
The Story sucked. i expected it to be more like the awsome book. with Menelaos living, ajax's suicide, Agamemnon living. Paris nOt being a pussy, and Patroclus being older than Achilles. Sword fights not looking like ballet .and NOT killing 100 people with 120 arrows:they dropped like bushes from arrows shot at them frontally!!
I liked the scenery and Hektor. thats all. teh rest should be shot, hanged, descecrated, shot and hanged again...just as a figure of speech of course
