Hmmmm....we had Clash of the Titans, Jason and the Argonauts, or for a more recent example, Hercules and Xena. Sounds like we could accept Greek detities on screen. Besides, I thought Achilles was a demigod.

Besides, I thought Achilles was a demigod. I am not sure, it's been a few years but I do remember that Helen was the daughter of Zeus. And how do you explain Kassandra's warnings going unheeded without the curse of Sunshine Boy (AKA Apollo)? They took prophesy very seriously back then. For them not to listen to her warnings would be culturally unthinkable.
Don't think I will be going to see this movie. But then I had marked it down as doubtful when I heard girly man was starring.
