Troie: La chute d'une cité

Script writers try to outdo Homer! Casting is PC crap. The premise of the Apple of Discord is just blown to hell ! It's a waste of data bytes and any film which may have been expanded! Edith Hamilton and other retellers of mythology have done a much better job.

That was 8 wasted hours of my life that I'll never get back. It wasn't total rubbishy, but pretty damn close.

I can live with the anachronisms since it's not a documentary, but the acting and paceing was just horrible. Most of the time I just sat with my phone checking my FB and instagram. Uncharismatic actors with poor directing.

Come to think of it, it was complete garbage.

Laghfably anacronistic, badly directed, badly played. What a mess; and yet it was made by professionals who should have known better..It's a mystery. Easily one of the worst flicks in recent filn history.

I found the first episode excruciatingly boring but, in a fit of masochism, I watched it from start to finish. The BBC has managed to mangle a classic Greek tale and in doing so it has committed cultural appropriation. Now this is what I found inexcusable. The Brits have myths the BBC is welcome to take liberties with but the Iliad is not one of them. And we haven't even gotten to the black Achilles yet.

We struggled through the first episode and I do not think we shall be watching any more.

I'll disregard all the politics and hate going on here and just say that whilst I thought the acting and the sets were first class, the whole concept was lost to me. I hated the flash-forward-backs. These added nothing except confusion.

I gave it 3/10 and I tink I was being very generous.
