I preferred the recent made-for-TV version

The movie was a traditional Hollywood epic with contemporary effects and iconic characters. The miniseries version made a few years ago for TV (A&E?) was much better. Agamemnon (sp?) and Achilles were portrayed as truly brutal with no romantic softening. And it was (or seemed) as historically accurate as could be reasonably expected. Its on DVD and worth seeing. By comparison, the movie is flashier but shallow; entertaining but no dramatic substance.
