[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Troy, Brad Pitt vs Eric Bana

[mcelb1200]

Saw this last Thursday. A very entertaining film following the classic tale of the war between the Trojans and the Spartans. No mention made of Achille's (Brad Pitt) sandals affording him increased agility given to him after killing the Medusa, but I spose this film isn't designed to be a lesson in ancient Greek mythology.

Anyways, some very cool spans of Trojan walls and an army of 50,000 spears. Got me wondering if they'd used the same "Massive" engine as employed in LOTR.

A very male audience, however it was my Girlfriend who dragged me along to see it. Thoroughly enjoyable, not terribly taxing on the mind re: subplots. One worthwhile twist, but otherwise standard singluar main plot interspersed with two love-affiars as sub-plots. Worthwhile.

:) :) :).5 / 5

it was good, but i had read the Illiad earlier and the plot sometimes doesnt flow. I know they cannot do exactly everything in the whole tale, but to me the movie seemed to move around alot and didnt flow.

story was good, and cinematograohy was good. Though I think the Slowmo style of the Gladiator first battle would have been a better choice for a couple battle as the camera is jumping around trying to follow.

i would agree 3.5/5

Though the audio tracks i found very pleasing.
