i am not educated in greek history or anything, but i've read alot of books.. i think that it might be a little different than the actual story, but it was still well done, but if i remember my history, some parts were changed, probably for dramatic purposes

As long as they show Brad Pitt poking Patracolus in the butt, everything should be ok

They're not. I think that Achilles, his cousin, and Helen are the only blonde greeks. At least I can't remember any others. Achilles is half god right? So that explains him, and well, Helen just looks hotter as a blonde.

Not very good. I just saw it a few hours ago. Some things just dont make sense, it feels drawn out, fight scenes get routine, there were 13 years olds sitting behind us...
things that dont make sense to clarify:
At the end of the first battle scene, the trojans have the greeks on a full retreat and have the pinned up against the ocean, but they stop because "they came within range of their archers".... BS, if that was a real battle, the few greek archers they showed couldnt stop the 20,000 or whatever the trojans had chasing them. They had them retreating and had the high ground, no sense...
Then there was the scene where the trojans mount a surprise attack at the greeks and they all decide, in the middle of the HUGE battle, to crowd around "achilles" and hector and watch them fight. Then when hector kills "arhilles", the almost 80,000 guys decide that was enough fighting for the day and they walk back to the city and the greeks back to their ships...
