Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sexylocher Masterful Movie

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

MattClayton92 The series is well-made with good production values. Some of the dialogue and themes can be on the nose, but it actually does a good job of showing why characters made the decisions they did. What I liked best about it is that, unlike other adaptions, is mostly faithful to the original story. Some of the criticisms other people are giving it seem quite petty. This is a mythical story set in a mythical time in Greece, and therefore anachronisms are irrelevant. It's also easy to look past the colour-blind casting because everyone is Greek and so race and skin colour are irrelevant to the story and characters. The story is what's important and the story is the same as in the Iliad.

jswitty The only other word to describe this show other than garbage is trash. I don't know how they managed to get a green light for this.

darkhelmet16 Show was pretty good, I'm a fan of the Brad Pitt movie which is not without its flaws much like this. You people who write these reviews though, god you're losers. Go outside, talk to people, get out of your own twisted little minds where you think your opinions are valid and worth a damn

Trevor Johns The Gods, at play with we mortals, enjoy displaying their strength and power over us. So it came to pass, as they say in the Classics, that the actors in this classic somehow offended the Gods. And this led to them being cursed. However they were not cursed with being bad actors, as tempting as it is to proffer this. No, being Greek Gods, they cursed the actors with leaving them exactly as they are. Mere mortal human beings with absolutely no charisma whatsoever. That is a heck of an effective curse.A scan of the characters, Achilles, Ajax, Agamemnon, Hector, Helen reveals those whose names are the essence of legend and thereby charisma.No actor here is a bad actor, but there was not one great artiste of high art among them. And the Iliad is greatness, and therefore requires, greatness to be brought to it.Perhaps it was as simple a matter as the present BBC's financial masters restricted them to hiring actors who would save them a few bob in the long run. Maybe it was that bargain basement ratings were brought about by hiring bargain basement actors. Who knows. Well, actually the Gods know, because it was they who cursed this lackluster telling of one of the world's greatest classic stories. Cursed it to be ordinary, when it needed to be extraordinary.
