Pitt is not known for depth and I found his Achilles rather mono-dimensional. (I went to a 17:30 showing and there were several gaggles of teen girls there--we know why.)Bana showed a Hector that had some sense and who was intimidated by Achilles. He added humanity to the role.
I appreciated the moments of irony when both Hector and Paris gave O'Toole the right advice which he did not promptly follow.
Yep, this one will take Gladiator's place on the DVD shelf.
