Helen of Troy | Year: 2003 Classification: Action/Adventure Directed: - John Kent Harrison very disappointed i am a big fan of greek myth and was very VERY excited to learn that there was a mini series on helen of troy. but, sadly, i was extremely disappointed. the person who played helen was somewhat of a good actress but wasn't convincing to be the person who 'launched a thousand ships' (and her dress seemed to be falling off at some parts of the film). and the visuals were TERRIBLE. It was annoying to watch a few hundred FAKE ships sailing the seas. cassandra was annoying as well. the story wasn't really that great either. the guy played agamemnon fit the role and john rhy-davies played a good King Priam (it was nice to see him as someone rather that Gimli from LOTR). Better than TROY ! This movie, although its less glamorous than the new Troy with Brad Pitt, is closer to the truth story. Menelaus and Agamemnon don't die in Troy just because they are the bad guys!!! Hello!!! Who wrote the script to the movie called TROY anyway? He was having a bad trip, I can tell you that! The only negative point in HELEN OF TROY is the almost bad acting and Achiles was bald??? C'mon give me a break! Better shoot some nice horror b-movies guys! You should better read the real thing! Very well put together I quite like this TV-Movie version of the story of Troy, and I'm glad I viewed it before watching the blockbuster version with Brad Pitt. Apparently this version is far more accurate and more closely aligned with Homer's Iliad and it gives a much better background in the story of Paris and Helen. Significant changes were made in the Brad Pitt version of the battle of Troy which made it hard for me to accept. However, since the actors are all good loking and the costumes are historically accurate, I'm willing to forgive this minor slight. Watch this version as well to compare the difference. The battle scenes and special effects are B-rated compared to Peterson's version of Troy, but the story is more accurate and the acting is much better.
