Brad Pitt as Achilles? 
He had like 3 different accents in that movie ............. he may have looked the role but did a lousy job with his basic dialogue imo.

Brad Pitt as Achilles?
He had the look,arrogance and fight moves.
What accent was a mythical personage supposed to have anyway?
Wasnt a deal breaker for me and film is primarily a visual medium in any case.
Colin Farrell as Alexander the Great! Or maybe not.

I never said what accent he was suppose to have but rather that he couldn't stick to one. It wasn't good but you're right, he did look the role. It wasn't a bad movie AT ALL, it just wasn't a role he was "born to play" imo. Tyler Durden? Hell yes.
Quite liked Troy actually.

Having recently watched Returns I have to agree that DeVito was born to be the Penguin, or at least Burton's vision of the Penguin.
I enjoyed Troy, but anyone could've played Achilles. Its not that Pitt was bad in the movie, but he didn't bring anything to the role that no one else could've brought.
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter is another one I should've added to my list.

Disagree.
Achilles needed to really stand out and be bigger than life.
Best looking,best physique,you always needed to look at him, either because of his armor,weapons,actions or dialog.
He was the rockstar of the Iliad and a literary/historical legend and given almost godlike invulnerability on the battlefield.
I dont think anyone else at the time that the movie was made couldve stepped up.
It wasnt simply enough to have a good looking guy in the roll as there are plenty of models out there.
Pitt brought his present day fame to the role which immediately was transferred to Achilles, Achilles needed to be famous.
Make sense?
It was all in the timing.
Pitt was at the height of his fame and looks as was Achilles in the Iliad.

Chloe Grace Moretz as Hit Girl in Kick Ass.
I thought I would hate the film and avoided watching it for as long as I could. Only watched it a couple of weeks ago because I had to withy someone else. In my opinion she was the star of the film.
