Dodenhoff predicted this early, saying that Brad Pitt would be the weak link in Troy. Chris Hewitt agrees, writing "The actor, miscast as Achilles, is the major flaw in the handsome, intelligent Troy"
I have little interest in seeing this movie, despite my overwhelming childhood interest in ancient Greece. The main reason is Brad Pitt who, though better looking than Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise, is barely better than them when it comes to acting. Unless someone I know and respect tells me it is worthwhile I won't go see it. Peter O'Toole and the subject may convince me to rent it when it comes out on DVD.
