I didn't see it, but I read Homer plenty. There was a lot of controversy on casting decisions and artistic liberties. Not sure if people are being overly critical.

idrc bout the casting decisions. They made it so Xenia's Law(Zeus's Law in the movie) was used as a golden rule type thing which i didnt like and despite the homeric version having the greeks attack on troy be divinely sanctioned by multiple gods cause of various reasons(helen abducted etc.) they framed it as the greeks breaking the law by using the horse. If i rmr correctly the gods only got mad during the fall of troy cause the greeks did violent stuff at altars and such

yea i hate to say it but it felt like a simplified version for wide appeal. I get why its done but its tragic cause the greeks relationship with religion was a lot more complex and interesting. But overall i still enjoyed it as a theatre experience in 70 MM
