Ok to skip the myth, but nothing left of story I have no issues the writers decided to skip the myth. Indeed, why not making it a more historical combat. But everything they showed is wrong, wrong, wrong. In first theatrical release even the location of troy was wrong, which is corrected later. All character arks are wrong: maneleus, archamemdon, aias, achilles, hector, helen: wrong, wrong wrong. The writera didnt payed one single look at the illias and other writings of the trojan war. Ow there was a horse, and a girl, lets make a movie about it. Even the netflix series are better. For an understandeble reading of the complete story i recommand steven fry's troy. Yes it is a book and not a movie, but at least it is good.
