I wanna see Eric!

I watched it last night, I enjoyed it because I went with mates from school, but I felt the movie was let down by the writers and producers screwing with the original account of events by Homer.
The changes just seemed to lend themselves to hollywood predictability. I suppose when you are spending millions of dollars on a blockbuster you are allowed to exercise abit of creative licence, but I thought, IMHO that if they had stuck with the original version of events it would have made for a better story.

I saw it this morning... and I liked it.. quite a lot actually...

I've never liked Paris (at all) but I guess they gave him some redeeming qualities at the end of the film... and seeing as it was Orlando... ^_^... (no, I'm not an obsessed overly defensive fangirl... I actually think his acting needs some working on, although his performance in Troy wasn't too bad. I just like his looks...).

Eric Bana was really good as Hector and I especially enjoyed Sean Bean as Odysseus ^_^! And I don't really mind the fact they changed the original story. It is a Hollywood film after all and although it would be interesting to see the gods, I think it would have been difficult to pull something like that off convincingly...

One thing I did find kind of weird; what happened to the fact that the whole thing lasted 10 years?

And where was Hecabe (Hecuba)? Only because that's the play we performed at the Macquarie Uni Drama Comp last year for ancient history and I wanted to say I've acted in Troy... ^_^!

OH MY GOD!

I just saw this and I can't make any sensible comments right now because I'm still in drool-mode.

I just watched it and it has become one of my favourite movies.....better than Titanic will ever be.....
I'd better shut up before i let loose some spoilers

 

[um..]

it would have been funny if you know when achilles was talking to his mum in the rockpool, if she said "and if you go to troy you will be remembered for ever, and brad pitt will even play you in a hollywood movie"

The truly worrying thing is that the film was so self-referential it would barely have been out of place.
Slightly better than mediocre. Every day I think of something else that was twisted. Infintiely better than Titanic though. Should have just been called Achilles. I'll leave the rant at that for now.

Do I know you?

All the accents were bloody Aussie and American.

 

[White Rabbit]

...It would have been nice if Brad Pitt actually tried to act...

Odysseus was the best character, IMO. And not just because Sean Bean played him One of the most respectable and interesing.

 

[Trigger189]

Odysseus? He was hardly in the movie at all!

 

[Nick]

yeah but he put in a solid 10 year encore world tour
