I thought the film was better than I thought it would be, but I must admit that I did not enjoy it enough to recommend it. I am not an historian, but I did a little research after seeing the film, and found that the film took some liberties, even with facts that are considered pretty well estalblished. Such as the scope of Troy. Such as the relationship between, I forget now, Brian Cox's character and Achilles, about Achilles relationsip with his "cousin", who was apparently not his cousin. I often wonder why Hollywood is afraid to present the facts in some of it's historial pieces. It is as though historial accuracy means little them some producers. Or presenting a compelling story which comports with the facts would be too much work to make marketable.
