Spectacular battle scenes (not as good as the ones in LOTR series)! But the storytelling side and the acting side are just average to above average. Something is not quite right when they move Homer's Iliad to the big screen.

First of all, I don't think Brad Pitt did a good acting job as Achilles... He just does not look like the BEST warrior from the Greek side (rather, he looks like a arrogant punk). Can someone tell me why I am seeing Prince Paris becoming Legolas toward the end of the movie? Why is Hector portrayed as a not-so-confident warrior? I thought Hector was the BEST fighter on the Troy side? And, I thought the siege took 10 years in Homer's Iliad. In the movie, I this siege took less than two weeks!!! Overall, it is a good movie but it does not even come close to the level of LOTR. I think I am being generous by giving this movie an '8'!!!

I like the movie even though I find it very difficult to believe that an American can be accepted by the Japanese warriors as one of them. That is a little bit far-fetching... And how in the world does Katsumoto know so much English if he is indeed a conservative who is against westernization of Japan? Nonetheless, I do think it is a good movie and I would recommend you to go watch it.

Yes, it is funny but I am getting a little tired of watching the same thing the third time around. I like the first one because it was fresh and different... But, Taxi 3 is just a copy of the previous 2 with a little new twist... I hope there will be no Taxi 4 coming out any time soon...
