Title: Troy

Nothing special. Not really worth paying to see. Standard hollywood interpretation* of an old story.
(*as usual, the storyline has been completely screwed about with, more than likely to make it simpler for stupid people. The original seems far superior, from what I've read.)

Unless you really want to see lots of spears, swords & shields fighting then I'd say don't bother.

Well, yeah, but there's nothing really fancy about these fight scences.
Well, Achilles' ones were okay, but not that great... I could've beaten him. :P


Frag, I often like films that others don't, and I don't dislike Troy, but it's definitely nothing special.

Troiype. Lead actor Brad Pitt is best suited to play the wooden horse

Reference: Fight Club.

I'll rent it when it comes out.  I've only heard that Orlando Bloom is in it, and that's why people are going to see it.  Besides going to see a movie costs a lot.
