the movie Troy was fun to watch... just don't get any funny ideas that it reflected anything from the Iliad.
There are many differences, so if you need to read the Iliad, I wouldn't advise watching the movie instead.

The movie Troy is based on the Iliad by homer Homer's Iliad is Greek, not Roman.
The movie "Troy" wasn't based on a book called Troy. It was based on The Iliad by Homer. The Iliad tells only a small portion of the 10 year Trojan War--about 9 weeks, I believe. The move "Troy" is a condensed version of The Iliad.
Troy is a movie (loosely) based in the Iliad. It of course is inaccurate to the story, but it is a wonderful movie.
From the movie ?
the book has more info like scenes that wern't in the movie and the movie has less things in it
The book is better :d
Achilles' most prominent traits in the Iliad are (first) resentment and hurt pride, after a favorite slave has been taken from him, and (later) anger and ferocity after his best friend has been killed in battle. If you mean: "how is Achilles' character different in the movie Troy from how it is in the Iliad", the answer is that it isn't much different. But the Iliad only describes the events in the very last year of 10 years' siege of Troy and does not say much of all that happened in the 9 years before. In the movie, all Achilles' acts that are shown from the beginning of the war can be considered to have been made up by the writers of the movie. Oh yes: and in the movie Achilles gets into the wooden horse and only dies after the conquest of Troy, while in the Iliad he dies much earlier and his son gets into the wooden horse.
You need to specify which movie. There are at least four cinematic treatments of the play.
