I saw it. Little, pretty boy Brad Pitt as Achilles was the funniest bit
of casting. The movie had little in common with Homer's Illiad. As an
example, in the book, Achilles died before the Trojan horse was
constructed. The female lead in the movie, the pretty girl who played
Helen of Sparta, was blonde, just as unlikely as the medieval depictions
of Jesus as a fair-haired, blue-eyed northern European.

It wasn't a bad costume drama, though.
