A good first time watch, but definitely no replay value.

It was over the top, it had to be. How can you convey to 90% of your audience that soldiers who KNEW they were going to die would hold on as long as they did and as well as they did? You make it larger than life. You avoid the fact that most of the Persian soldiers were untrained farmers, you make your soldiers larger than life, killing giant wolves as kids. You make the Persian King a freak, a tremendous exceptionally strong, intelligent, charasmatic freak. You splash blood like watered down paint and you slow motion the better attacks that go against every rule of physics. Now Troy - That truly sucked. How can you take a war that lasted ten years, a war of treachery, intelligence, love, and utter servitude and trade it in for a two week jaunt with sneak stab by Brad Pitt instead of the intense powerful titanic invulnerable warrior that Ajax was supposed to be. |

If this thread proves anything, it's that a lot of people pay to watch a lot of movies they don't like.
I've seen a few posts here about how all of so-and-so's movies are terrible. JFC, why do you keep watching them? I have very little time for watching movies these days, so when I do it pisses me off if I pick a bad one. As I get older, time often matters more than money. |

I think I was hoping for epic battle scenes, along the lines of Braveheart or LOTR. But many of the battle scenes turned out to be video game animation. Nothing against animation - LOTR had plenty - but I felt like I was watching a movie made to appeal to a 20 something gamer. Which I probably was. Lately, I've come to accept that I am no longer the target audience for most movies. In fact, I don't know what the hell I'm the target audience for. Golf, maybe? Are 50 y/o men "tweeners" of sorts? |
