Absolutely dire. Whoever wrote this drivel has never read a line of the Iliad. Anyone who has will struggle with this utter nonsense. Everything about it is wrong, the casting, the myths , the scenery, the lighting. And as for Achilles, Patroclus and a young woman having a threesome on the beach, words fail me.

Dire - unless you are a massive fan of 18th century fashion - the central characters talk more about clothes than they ever do about poetry - keats played by Ben whishaw - usually worth a watch - is limper than a jellyfish stranded on the beach - & don't get me started on his bearded bestie Brown - a cross between Toad of toad Hall and Rupert Bear. Dreadful hokum

I enjoyed every minute of this, even though its really long, which I usually hate. Exotic locations, lots of fast paced action, a grumpy M and geeky Q, all the usual ingredients of a Bond. But Daniel Craig does really look his age, compared to the fabulous women. fabulous women women are
