1) Look, if you don't defend a fortress against an invasion, you've basically already lost it. Just because they didn't have high-speed internet back then doesn't mean they weren't smart—even if they *were* dumb enough to pull a massive wooden horse right through their own walls 😁!
2) Maybe it’s enchanted... 😬 Or maybe it just wasn't angled right—maybe this hand slipped during the strike and caused it to shift.
3) 🤔 ...you totally skipped number 3!
4) Honestly, the story is a mess. What really bugs me is how there aren't any god battles in the movie, how Odysseus gets sidelined, and how Aeneas is portrayed as a bigger loser than some local lowlife from a sitcom.
5) And everyone was running around in sandals, flip-flops, or whatever else... seriously? Metallurgy and blacksmithing weren't advanced enough to make armor that detailed and functional—not like those Gothic sets. Besides, didn't his mom hold him by the heel while she dunked him in the river? Remember? 😁
6) I highly doubt Achilles was some pushover. If I recall correctly, he was either a king or a prince of the Myrmidons. Those guys aren't out there wandering around with hoes digging up vineyards—they're busy flirting with the ladies at court. 😉

To wrap it up—the movie is garbage. You might get maybe 15 minutes of decent footage out of it, but that's about it.

Caught it on TV last night after forever... A really, really watchful film.

They run it on cable so often there’s basically no chance you won't see it again soon. I practically know the whole thing by heart at this point.

Menelaus and Agamemnon look way too old to me. Also, everyone looks exactly the same at the start of the war as they do at the end. You’d think a decade would change someone's face a bit, but whatever, movies have their flaws...

Exactly.
