Personal comments about this movie?
I didn’t think the movie was that bad despite protests about it being inaccurate. I thought it was quite entertaining with the battle scenes and the cool costumes. It’s good that the love story between Paris and Helen wasn’t the main focus during the entire movie. Paris sure was a wimp though when he crawled towards Hector during his fight with Menelaus, pleading for help. I always got the impression that Achilles was ruthless and heartless? The movie made him human and merciful.
