Troy came out today.

It's been getting good reviews so far, and I'd love to see if, but I was stifiled today by my mom, with the ol' it's rated "R" BS.

I'm am so incredibly excited about this film. I hope it's playing in a theater that my workplace is associated with (because we're so small that we rarely get anything good), so that I can get in for free.

You say it's getting good reviews? Very cool .

It's because they had to throw some sex scenes in there to show THAT THE MAIN CHARACTERS ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT GAY AT ALL NO MATTER WHAT.



Seriously, I've heard average reviews. It looks lame. Brad Pitt bugs me.. it's his hair. Bad hair on a main character ruins things for me.

...Well, they didn't have to make it *THAT* obvious in Caligula.

I heard mixed stuff too... I only heard about the movie when the previews started. The battle scenes look very nice but I have no idea how faithful it is so...

*shrugs* Probably not on my list of movies to spend $10 on.

This is the kind of movie where I really want to hear some responses of people who have seen it.

I've been hearing about it for like the past year, because it's BRAD PITT and he's BUFFED OUT.

And seriously, $10.. what's with movie prices these days? Didn't they used to cost like a quarter, back then? =o I think it's like 8 bucks here, actually, but still.. a hot dog is like twelve billion dollars.

In refrence to the hair...I dunno if it would look good to have him do his "too cool to care" look.

I can picture it...Achilles is going into battle, leading a thousand ships to rescue Helen....but it's held up. THERE'S NO GEL!!!

Terrible movie. Saw it today. The only good things about it were Eric Bana, Peter O' Toole, and the battle scenes. Music, dialogue, character development, etc. were all lacking.

Trunxy, how were they lacking? Like, could you give specific examples in spoiler form for us larms who'll probably not see the movie anyway (me)

How long did the battle scenes last? I like a lot of mindless ass kicking.

True, but with a name like Troy, you can't drown out the story with all mindless ass kicking, however awesome it may be.

Not sure if I'm going to see it yet. I may see it with my dad (who loves historical epics like this).

I'm going to see it tomorrow. I hate this, I get really excited when a movie is coming out, then I hear bad reviews and end up not seeing it. Oh well, even if the movie does suck arse, there's still the social thing to make up for that (going with a big group of people).

OMG OMG BRAD PIT AN ORLANDO BLOOMM!1! lolz they so hotttt!!1!

*cough*

It's rated MA here.. And even though we're only 13-14, we should still be allowed in. There are hardly any R rated films here actually. Like, at cinemas.

So tomorrow I shall bring back a review for you, hopefully I will think it is good (EIther I think a movie is good but not great, or go into how bad it was when i really don't think that. I confuse myself..)

Maybe I'll bother to go see it. The battle scenes look good but I don't think the rest will be THAT great...

When you spend at least 2 hours a day reading old Greek and Roman myths, and the histories of the respective cultures, you set VERY high standards for anything pertaining to defining pieces of literature and art.

Yes I agree, simular experience with Lord of the Rings. I know its a common example, but I cant think of anything else. Going to the cinema a year after reading the book series I had high hopes, but left unsatisfied. I have a feeling it will happen again with this film.

Well since a lot of people aren't Ziff and don't have extensive knowledge on myths and legends and such, that won't be much of an issue concerning this movie..
I heard this is the gay man's film. =o
