No. He was invulnerable. Especially since they're using the actual Achilles of myth. Achilles was born Thetis tried to make him immortal, by dipping him in the river Styx. However, he was left vulnerable at the part of the body by which she held him, his heel.The only weak point he ever had was in his heel. Which nobody knew about except the Gods. His armor was made by the Goddess Athena.When Paris shot the arrow it was guided by Apollo since Achilles cut off the head of Apollo declaring himself stronger than the Gods themselves. His armor was magical and mythical in itself.

The OP says "from the film Troy" does it not? Well in the film Troy he was not invulnerable. And his armor was not magical since Hector cut it and Paris shot him multiple times thru it.
The OP does say he gets "his mythological nigh-invulnerability" but my point was in the movie he was not and basically admitted so himself.
The Christian God is much more powerful than the pussy ass Greek gods (Notice the lowercase "g"😉 though.
Christianity was the reason the belief in the Greek gods died off. So yeah i'd say He is the superior one

The OP also said the Achilles of mythology so your point is moot.

Actually it does not say "Achilles of mythology" it says:
Achilles, from the film Troy, with his sword, spear, shield and armor, and his mythological nigh-invulnerability
which means we are taking Achilles from the movie and adding ONE aspect from the mythological part that was not in the movie ie no magic armor so your face is moot 😛
