Yesterday I saw Troy. From the technical side it wasn't bad. But from the story side...

Firstly - Achilles was hidden in his father's, king Peleus', court, where he was dressed as king's daughter, so he wouldn't go on this war. That was his mother's, Thetis' idea, because she knew that he won't return from Troy. Odysseus, who was sent to find him, tricked him by appearing as a merchant and showing him swords - and a warrior wouldn't stand such temptation In the movie, there wasn't such part. Though this I can forgive - it would be hard to make Brad Pitt look like a woman

Secondly - Menelaos and Agamemnon survived the war and Helen was brought back to Sparta. Guess what's in the movie.

Thirdly - the Greeks fought at Troy for 10 years. In the movie, it seems like it all ended in 18 days.

Fourthly - Paris shot Achilles in his heel BEFORE taking over the Troy. Not DURING it.

Fifthly - Briseis was the member of the TROYAN ROYAL FAMILY? Well that's news even for Homer!

A little plus is Aeneas appearing in the final movie scene. A little.
