Just saw it last night. I think it was well made, but it was tough to get empathetic with any of the main characters. The only true "Hero" was Hector. Priam was an old fool who wouldn't listen to wise counsel, Achilles seems like a spoiled brat who is never quite redeemed, Paris is a coward, and the women are all window dressing, waiting in anguish for their men to come back from fighting.

That said, those faults come from the text, not from the treatment.
