The scene with Andromache and her son had me fighting for my life. Also who doesn’t love some Patroclus and Achilles love?

1.0

A lot of Greek name dropping and gory death scenes. It is basically a lot of killing of people you don’t care much about. I can appreciate its place in history and it certainly explains why Western culture views violence as entertainment, but it is personally not to my taste.
