Brian Cox is awesome but this hunk of crap suffers from a boring, rushed, and hollow plot and story. And those aren't the only things that are poorly developed. I felt nothing for the characters except for apathy and hatred. But what do you expect from a movie written by David Benioff?
What's especially frustrating is this cast is full of great actors and they're all wasted! This only exacerbates the emotions I feel for their characters.
I especially hated Paris. Screw him! "He did it for love!" OK! And he condemned his people to death! How am I supposed to root for him?! Oh, he thought the Trojans could beat the Greeks with their defenses? Trojans still died! And he ruined his father's plans for peace just to get into Diane Kruger's pants. At least Helen tried to leave to prevent anyone else from dying.

Brian Cox was the only actor I took seriously. Everyone else was not great; even Brad Pitt! And I don't like saying that!
