Ok, this war lasted 10 years, not a damned month for one thing. For another, Achilles died long before the Trojan Horse. Ajax killed himself, he didn't fall to Hector. Hector's body was sold for Ransom. Helen eventually came back with the Greeks. Menalaus did NOT die, Paris DID. The Horse was supposed to be an offering to Athena, NOT Poseidon. It was about 19-20 things like that...

All that being said, there was some good visual effects and all. Oh, and was I the only one who, upon seeing Paris shoot his bow, counted 150, 151, 152...(or start at some other ridiculous number?)
there were a lot of mistakes in it and I thoguht they could have done more to say that Achillies was pretty much invinsible except for his heel. I still enjoyed the movie and would recommend it.
