Can't judge it, only watched the first 5 minutes on someone's computer and had to go. Nathan Jones looked huge. Anyone see it? Furthermore, anyone actually like it?

I saw this at the movies and I thought it was ok, but not great. I would say I liked Gladiator a lot better than this.

Was OK...wanted to rip Orlando Bloom's head off through the whole movie, his character is such a p***y that you just want to kill him. I actually liked Eric Bana's character Hector the most.

Isn't that just his character though?

I haven't read The Iliad in years and I know this is a bastardized version but if memory serves me correctly he was written that way on purpose.

Anyway, yeah...the movie looks somewhat cheesy.

This is the discussion we had when it first came out last year.

And here's what I had to say on the matter.

Quote:
At almost 3 hours, I found this movie about 2 hours and 30 minutes too long.

I found the acting bland, almost as if they tried to get it all on the first take so as more time could be spent focusing on the action. The dialouge itself was awful though, and even otherwise enjoyable actors could not save it.

The characters themselves were ranged from slightly irritable to blatantly dislikable, regardless of how they tried to position them. Never before have I witnessed a movie with a cast so blatantly absent of one redeemable feature. If it weren't for the music I'd have been unable to determine who I was supposed to be rooting for in the war.

And the action...well I suppose it kept me from walking out of the cinema (Note: I've never actually walked out on a movie I hadn't seen before). The thing is, we're getting to a time when things in cinema really do look real. Movies like braveheart could be sold on battles due to the fact that they were better than anything before them. You can only get so realistic, and I think they've gotten to the point that any advancements are not noticeable - certainly not to the extent that a movie can be sold on it.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the battles are like the ones in Braveheart. They're much worse. Think family friendly. Think long meaningless, predictable discussion about love and honour. Think a bunch of big name actors rambling through the motions in order to make a few more million dollars.

I give Troy 4 and a half stars.
