-Bullshit number one:do 50,ooo men on each side stop fighting to watch 2 guys fight then call a fricken"timeout" when one guy gets killed and decide to stop for the day?? YEAH RIGHT... -Bullshit number two: is there any point in which you see Achillies (Brad Pitt) seem invincible like the mythology of his character is supposed to be? NO, no wounds that mear mortals would die for, so when he takes the arrow to the achillies tendon, you dont get the sense that he's doomed..no takes 3 more arrows to the chest then dies. WACK! -Bullshit #3: Too Hollywood! No sense about the original story (Achillies gets killed returning Hectors body to the trojans in the original story,Agamemnon doesnt die, Brads cousin who gets killed is actually a friend, etc. etc.)
-BS #4 Hot musical score (set this to uplifting horns and parade conffetti)"we stole the Greek Queen, we're gonna have a bloody battle on our hands, but lets sing and dance and trie to make the vierwer think he's in a feel good epic..la lalala" Silly silly, throw in some cheese porn shots with the camera, follow no particular character and get no sense of anyones purpose, make everyone seem intellictually dulled and mix it up with everything else and what do you got??.... TROY! (lame)

Tell us how you really feel.
