Scott H @AndrewSHH Apr 5 Helen is married to Menelaus. Paris wants her. There's no hint that her husband is a bad guy in any way. Paris shows up and says she needs to run away with him, but doesn't give any reason why. She doesn't even act that interested most of the time, but runs off with him anyway. The worst is that it's hard to even tell the two men apart. There's not an inch of depth to a single character. The scene with the gods makes no sense. Why do they start screaming? Maybe it sounded cool on paper, but it looks silly. The whole thing is dull and stupid.

Even that the story didn’t represent the story of the Homer it didn’t have any great value to keep on watching the script felt careless the characters as well. Don’t let me start on trying representing the characters of Greeks being African is also something that I can’t understand and is been made by many others movie ass well. I believe the ethnicity should stay as they are not changed and choosing African or Indian or Chinese. Achilles should be Greek and now we are getting the Nolan movie that has the Helen presented also as African I just can’t understand it. Imagine making a myth movie if there was one about an African civilisation and made them white skin colour, wouldn’t that be insulting for the Africans ?

The casting had....interesting choices....given the direct descriptions in Greek mythology being pretty clear. There was no real purpose to the changes, it seems it was done just to do it because the director wanted to. Overall, it was decent, but nothing to get terribly excited about.

See more 02/15/2022 The selection of actors is just a failure! Bad acting! See more 02/10/2022 Terrible series, and I really enjoyed the Brad Pitt Troy film. The only character I did not entirely despise was Hector. I don't have an issue with Achilles being portrayed by a Black man, however my wife and I found the gay scene on the beach revolting. That kind of came out of nowhere, and I really despise how movie studios slip this garbage in. We stopped watching after that, although there were countless issues leading up to that where we almost turned it off as well. Poorly written, and just abysmal overall. Do not recommend!
