I don't think Xena mangled it at all. I think Xena was very cool with the way it put focus on Helen and how she suffers because of her beauty. It was a very interesting and new take on this old story that NEVER takes the view of the women (glad I'm writing both a book and movie to correct this!) "Troy" MANGLED and SPIT on the classic story of Homer. ONLY watch this movie if you have NEVER read the book and know NOTHING about the Trojan war. As a HUGE fan of the book and having done massive research on the war, I was GRINDING my teeth for the entire three hours. Pitt was good, as were the other actors, and the writing was good. The directing was poor and it was NOT the story of the Trojan War. Clearly the writers never READ the book and must have been looking at the cliff notes when they wrote this. Couldn't even get names right or who died and who lived! ARG! BATTLE ON XENA!
