I think this is why people either loved it or "ehhh" or hated it. While I had only bits and pieces of the original story, my wife has read the Iliad and knows the story well.
She hated it, l thought it was a good movie. She said is deviated to much from the original and ruined a good story line. I told her that to tell the real story would have turned the movie into a 3 part, 12 hour set of movies like LOTR was, and nobody would set to watch that much movie. LOTR yes because of the following it had, but not Troy.
