I saw it, and, really enjoyed it. I was a little worried at first, just because the dialogue and acting seemed a little...I don't know.... bad. The first maybe thirty minutes didn't have me thinking it was going to be a good film. I love Orlando Bloom, but, thought his performance, along with the girl who portrayed his love interest, Helen, was disappointing. I felt no connection whatsoever to either of them individually or as a couple. I thought Brad Pitt and Eric Bana were tremendous, though, and, definitely made that movie. I don't know who the actress is, but, the girl who played Hector's (Bana's) wife got on my nerves a lot. She kept doing this thing with her tongue that distracted me every time she was on the screen. And, I LOVED Rose Byrne, who was Briseis (Achille's love interest). I thought she was absolutely beautiful and acted the part really well. I was completely involved and interested in their relationship, as well as their characters individually. All in all, I loved the film, but, was disappointed in Orlando Bloom's acting, although he's still beautiful and was nice to look at.I also thought the music was really good (I love James Horner) and the one-on-one fight scenes were really cool. The film really ventured off a lot on the actual mythology, but, that always happens in movies. Anyway, long winded, I know.....just my inability to summarize.
