Well compared to what happened, the movie is terrible, I've read the Illiad, sure you'll not be filming the exact thing, which is why its an adaptation, but the movie never really had the 10-year effect, I don't see how Achilles can grieve so much for a cousin, sure he's been teaching him and most of the things done by him played are true, but the reaction to his death simply had no character development and the other thing Achilles was 16 when he came to War, he could've killed hector the moment he came but he waited 8 years, why?, in the original Iliad, Thetis (Achillis' mother)gave Patroclus(his lover, depends really on the version, and yes they're far better)a prohphecy that Hector will fall first, only then will Achilles die and on the part of the detail, you're adapting greek writing without the gods, in the actual Illiad, it was Apollo himself who guided the arrow of Paris, PHYSICALLY standing there, Artemis stopped the winds, Zeus attacked with thunderstorms, Thetis gave Achillis' armor made by Hephaestus himself, Athena was the patron of Odysseus, its strange he never mentioned in the movie, the movie chooses the most terrific combo, in the old versions of the Illiad Patroclus was a competent soldier, and Achilles was just an extraordinary warrior, but Later the writers made the two lovers considering how grief-stricken Achillis' was after his death, but the movie makes Patroclus a cousin, not even a henchman because that tends to have an emotional attachment, and briesis was the point of conflict of Agamemnon it originated from there, he gave her back after Patroclus' death only, instead it makes it extremely simple,I don't see any attachment. Poor writing really, can't blame the actors . Yeah and it lacked action, Achillis was the kind of a warrior who attacked a river god could fight with, he far surpassed Hector's skill, could fight with 20 people, so a thumbs down on that too.
