it was ok

If you like the prequels to the Star Wars movies, you'll love Fall of Troy. A perfect example of the effect of 'member berries in Ancient Rome. The empire was falling and everyone was pretty pissed off, so the emperor found this 3rd century J.J. Abrams and asked him to reboot the Illiad. It had all the characters you loved, only it lacked the depth of originality that drew you to The Illiad in the first place. Quintus of Smyrna was like, "Hey would if Achilles had a son?" WHAAAAT! That's crazy!" I mean, all sarcasm aside, it was bearable in the same sense that Jar Jar Binks is only kinda annoying. You'd be better off watching Brad Pitt in Troy. "Member when Achilles killed Hector?" Sure, I 'member!
