Movie Review by Movie Addict
January 28th, 2008

I want what all men want, I just want it more.

Favorite Movie Quote: "May the Gods keep the wolves in the hills and the women in our beds!"

As impressive as 300 and Beowulf were, they are not nearly as impressive as seeing real armies with real fighters like Achilles (Brad Pitt) and Hector (Eric Bana). This is the epic battle movie that rivals Braveheart for excitement.

Costuming, sound, stunt work - all were top notch and framed two love stories; the well known love of Paris (Orlando Bloom) for Helen (Diane Kruger), and the love of Achilles for Briseis(Rose Byrne). Kruger was perfect for the role of Helen, for one can truly believe that she would be the beauty that would launch 1000 ships.

Peter O'Toole as King Priam was impressive as always and really made that role.

A fantastic movie that made the most of it's 160 minutes under the more than capable direction of Wolfgang Petersen.

Yes, he was. I want to get the director's cut for the 40 more minutes of action.
