Troy

[Kamal]

Finally watched this movie last night..... fucking BRILLIANT production.... dont know the real story (if this is based on one) but I thought all the actors did a bang up job and the twists in the plot just kept getting better....

the only thing I didn't like was how they wiped off our hero towards the end....

the one thing I LOVED about this flick was the speed at which the movie travelled..... things weren't happening too fast or too slow.... the plot kept developing at the right speed..... though they could've lost the GLADIATOR chiquita singing at all the wrong times in the movie..... at some points I thought they dropped her moans just cause they couldn't figure out what the fuck to stick in there

i havent seen it yet, i've been hesitant because of pitt. i think he is too much of a prety boy to play this role..is he any good?

*dont get me wrong i enjoy brad pitt movies

[peloquin]

isnt it based on the iliad? good movie anyways

[el presidente Highsteppa]

It's based very loosely on the Illiad, but they remove the Dieties from the equation. I thought Brad Pitt did a decent job of acting the part of a legend buying into his own hype, and the scale of the battles were quite well done. I really thought that Eric Bana (who played Hector) did a great job, acting as the guardian and protector to not only Troy but to his younger brother (played so daintily by Orlando Bloom that he reeks of estrogen).

Not bad, a bit overdone and this could have been so much better.

I liked how during a battle, they would just stop fighting, and have two people settle it. somthing you dont see in many movies with war.

well directed expensive fulltime crap imo.
don't like the movies that doesn't make me think after |the end|

I really thought that Eric Bana (who played Hector) did a great job, acting as the guardian and protector.

definately the best performance in the movie

[bloodl0ck]

Yeah.. very loose adapation of the Illiad - the war was supposed to have occured over tens of years, whereas in the movie it seemed like days?

And yes, as pointed out, lacked the gods in it.

Re: Troy

not a bad movie. just watched it last night for the first time. im a brad pitt fan for sure but this movie was all hollywood. i found it hard to believe in some spots. for instance, the lighting is perfect in every scene. and they make pitt out to be a male model basically. he's so beautiful in this movie he hardly looks like a warrior.
some of the battle scenes were cool though. and the fight between achilles and hector was pretty good too.
over all rating 3/5

Ive Had Troy since it first came out.i never watched it but i watched it today it was a great movie.Brad Pitt was great in it gotta watch it

[Jibgolly]

just rented this movie for the second time last week. cant get over this film. i love it. i realise i feel different now then before, maybe its cos i watched the extrasand saw everything that went into the making of this movie. that fight scene between hector and achilles is my favorite part for sure. good stuff. wish it was a few minutes longer though.

Re: Troy

watched this a few times and dug it, yes to the battle and death for honor themes, but i'm shocked to read that people think Pitt was good. what's with that accent and stilted delivery? he was only great when he's screaming for Hector--a roll that, yesyesyes, Bana absolutely killed

Re: Troy

Honestly, this movie would have sunk faster than the Titanic if not for Brad Pitt's butt. The movie tried to cover a 10 year war in an hour. It did not succeed. It is worth seeing in the theatre just once, even though it is far from epic, it is still a good movie

p.s.but if your looking for a bloody war movie with great characters, go rent Saving Private Ryan
