what did you think of Troy

Pshaw. Can’t wait until Prisoner of Azkaban comes out! and no, I’m not a teen fan.

very impressive film, glade that for once holywood decided to do a war film that is more in touch with real life as opposed to the usual ‘good guys v the bad guys’ rubbish.

i have to say the troy is now in my top ten favourate films list. 😀

Since I’ve seen Snatch I have no doubts on Pitt’s capabilities. Same with “12 monkeys”.

Excellent movie! Brad Pitt proved once again to be a great actor, capable of permorming all sorts of roles.

I cant understand why people say that about Brad Pitt, in all his past movies like River runs through it, Interview with a Vanpire and 7 deadly sins (or whatever its called) he just comes off as some kid trying to be grown up. So when I heard he was in this film along with Orlando Bloom who was very kid-like in Pirates of the Caribean, I thought for sure this movie was going to be total sap. This movie actually renewed confindence that Hollywood is still capable of making an epic picture (although it was directed by Wolfgang Peterson).

Id like to mention also that Greece was as a stark land back then as it is now, and the Greeks had to import alot of things like wood, grain, etc.

I’ve to laugh with the fact that people say the movie is historically incorrect. True, it’s a 21th century translation of Homer’s original story, but during the Baroque-era myths from ancient Greek civilisations were also used as propaganda (Louis XIV comparing himself to Alexander the Great), so in fact, the movie itself is probably even more important than the story behind it.

Well, I read both books, but didn’t see the movie, so I can’t tell… :rolleyes:

If the movie is true, there could be some gore scenes, though.

Please guys, don’t tell too much. I still need to go to the cinema later this week to see this movie. I don’t want to know how it ends before I have seen it!

But I am going to look out for those golden trees they use for their burial ceremonies. 😉

They smuggled it in, disguised as gold and other precious metals…;)

Were did they get all the firewood for their burial ceremonies, in a countryside where there is not a single tree left or right?
