Title: Read the Iliad and forget this movie
Product review: I had just finished reading The Iliad by Homer when I casually caught this movie on cable TV. After a while I just couldn't stand it and turned off the TV. Movies who don't do justice to the book on which they are inspired are legions, but this one reaches new heights in stupidity and bad taste.From the Vin Diesel-style, abrupt, one-sided, acting of Achilles to the meaningless and ridiculous twists to the original story, this movie manages the difficult task of turning the Greek masterpiece into a ridiculous piece of junk.None of the actors are credible, the influence of the Gods is reduced to a bare minimum, CGI's are awful, weapons and armours would not look out of place at a "bal masque" - overall, this movie is definitely worth avoiding!
