That's what I think as well. I wasn't talking about his accent. I 
just don't think he was the right actor for that part. I just kept 
thinking Brad Pitt instead of Achilles. 
I mean if you go to a movie to see gorgeous people, this the movie. I 
mean it's a jackpot, (for women and gay guys anyway). You have Brad 
Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean in one movie for god's 
sakes. Before I saw it I used to make this joke to my friends that 
all the women that came to see it where given buckets for all the 
drool. :D
But if the movie isn't good, the droolable bods aren't enough for me. 
I kind of had the feeling like I was watching a soap opera that had 
used a lot of money on sets and costumes.

Well those are my thoughts on the matter
