TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
kourvarasg Nothing more that wasting your time to watch a B movie. Slow action, poor performances, low budget action sceens. Not much to tell about the mixup of the writers' fantasies. Nothing to do with the original story, just an excuse of airing 6 hours of film. Greatly dissapointed (obviously)
scliff-55577 To keep it short....the heading of the review meets all you ned to know about this show.Black Zeus and Achilles climbed the olymp of mediocracy and boredome, like everyone else who gave me the impression that they are all in the show for the pay check and nothing more.The Iliad produced for TV in all the wrong ways you could do it.
artmadalena I just couldn't believe what I was watching in Netflix. This series is so wrong, so outrageously disrespectful to Homer's immortal Illiad that I had to write this review. The directors-writers-producers-whatever and whoever they were (-like a gang-) seem to have deliberately chosen to disfigure the masterpiece - perhaps the highest work of literature ever created. A cultural murder was, apparently, perpetrated in this "Troy-The Fall of a City". Just about every actor is miscast, starting with Paris/Alexander himself who does not look any bit "in love " with Helen at all! As he prepares to go back to Troy I got a feeling that Helen hid herself in that coffin out of boredom, not really for love - neither she, nor he seems to have been taken by the turmoil of an intense passion. Paris is such a modern boy ! Does he like soccer? Videogames? And Helen, though quite pretty, could not possibly be "...the most beautiful woman of the world" promised by Aphrodite. Ah!... Aphrodite promised. But didn't deliver... A certain discomfort invades the viewer from the start as he is confronted with so much bad acting, bad casting, bad timing in the events. Sorry to say that - but it MUST be said - Achilles SHOULD be someone hairy and blond - like a lion, as Homer explicitly wrote in his story. Achilles was "golden" like a lion! Nestor, an important character in the Illiad looks just like a street dweller that I see everyday somewhere in Rio de Janeiro where I live. Why this ? BBC managed to offend Homer, the Greeks, and all of humanity who read this immortal tale of war and love. AS some reviewers already noted, this awful TV series made the movie "Troy" (which contains many mistakes) with Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and lovely Diane Kruger shine like a jewel forever!!!!
haikonen 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.
