i didn't understand one thing
when trojans attacked by night, hektor battled achiles thinking it was him..and the soldiers just stop fighting and acted like they were watching a box combat on tv..and why did the battle stop just because that dude died? i mean..many men died that moment and no big deal was made for them..

It's a legend, babe. Take it as such. Legends aren't meant to be realistic. They usually make the whole universe revolve around the heros and anti-heros to the point where, yes, a whole battle will stop just because a couple of big-shots have come face-to-face. I think that's something a lot of people on this thread have overlooked in their critique of the movie: it's based on a story that's thousands of years old. No, it's not ok to omit the gods just because we don't believe in them anymore. Hoakey or not, they were part of the original story.

I think Achilles was toying with him somewhat. He definitely wasn't going out full force for the first bit of the fight. Prolonging Hector's bravado (or whatever it's called) is part of making the revenge sweeter.

I could be wrong.

montie i think you not reading up on classical mythology was because you WERE a latin student and not an ancient greek student.

I know I'm late, but I finally saw the movie. I thought it was pretty good. The fights were amazing imo.
