[Paul Farquhar]

There was anachronistic armor, sure, but Homer's interpretation of the bronze age, and classical interpretation of the past in general, were full of anachronism left, right, and center. Making it all bronze age accurate would be a far greater slight to the source material than what they did.

I it’s not so much the armour being anachronistic, my issue is it’s bog-standard Hollywood-Greek. It’s fine, but I would have liked to see something a bit more original from such a big name director.

But then del Toro’s Frankenstein was also an on the nose obvious interpretation. Maybe obvious is the new originality?
