The thing I hate about movies based on books is that so many things are changed. I really feel the movie should be an exact representation of the book. Its not the movie makers decision on how the movie should turn out, but the guy who originally wrote the thing. I know everything can't stay the same, so I guess i'll have to go into this one with an open mind and seperate the movie from everything else.

Well yes, but they went for a more "historical fiction" type of movie instead of a supernatural one with the gods and stuff. All three main characters in the film (hector, paris, achilles) reject the gods.
