i just saw this movie yesterday... the acting all seemed rather forced and most of the lines were borderline pure cheese... but the battle and the overall storyline i enjoyed... i just wished that the rest of the movie would've backed it up...
i love greek mythology so that didn't hurt that i found some of it semi-enjoyable... but really the only acting part i really liked was brad pitt and the guy that played hector... but the rest just seemed so overdone... so forced and fake... it made it hard to really get into...

i give it a B... just for the fact that i enjoyed the battles... and it was a decent topic... even though it didn't go over as well as i had hoped...

this sucked. it was just battle scene after boring battle scene...and i want to hate brad pitt. but he's just too damn sexy. and that's coming from the most hetero dude ever!

i love the chicas (and brad pitt)!

Hey Dan, now is your chance.

I only saw the last half, but it seemed not-so-good. Ebert called it the worst movie of the year (worse than Christmas with the Kranks, worse than White Chicks, worse than friggin Catwoman), so it surpassed my low expectations.

I saw this the weekend it came out, and I haven't seen it since. I think it was okay. I wish it were more faithful to Homer's epic but c'est la vie, I guess. I'm not much one for sword and sandals epics but this was tolerable.
