While Troy, the movie, was not accurate to Homer.

I must say, I did enjoy the film, for what it is, and it was a beautiful film.

A thing completely absent in the film is the Supernatural. The Gods, do not appear, and, Achilles actually mocks Apollo early on, beheading a statue of Apollo during a raid on a temple of Apollo.

Absent Athena,

I think the duel between Hector and Achilles was well done.

While not accurate to the Illiad, it was a pretty decent fight.

It sounds like a good movie. If I can rent it, I look forward to watching it.
