[QUOTE="Krazee, post: 442809, member: 554818"] Exactly. I havent seen the movie, but i know about Achilles and his heel. Ever wonder why that tendon at the back of ure foot is call the Achilles tendon? Odd that those of you who say read didnt remember that one fundatmental point of the story. I still want to see this movie, regardless of its interpretations of the book. If im following some of you correct, its largely following the wars stemming from the Trojan Horse. Anyway....possible its following the book "Tale of Troy" rather than the Illiad? Now that i mention that, I think i might read "tale of troy" first before seeing the movie. Oh and my cousin is an avid Harry Potter reader, and she didnt think the movie(s) followed the books well. And another cousin mentioned the same about certain instances in LoTR....so this proves that no one is ever really please with the outcome of book-to-movie adaptations. Thus I have resolved that if I see the movie first and its good, then the book is killer. And if I read the book first and its killer, then the movie is going to ****. This is my own twisted logic mind you. [/QUOTE]
