Great Movie - It was slow for the first half hour but the battle scenes and one on one fights are so well done. I'd say if you liked Gladiator you will definately like Troy.
I had a much better time reading the Iliad and the Odyssey...they didn't even get Achilles' hair color right...
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Saw it last night, and had that conversation with the family this morning. We decided that both movies were great in their own right. Gladiator was a hero's fictional story. Troy is a war movie about the machinations of war and the characters caught up in it. I would almost have rathered shorter fight scenes, to deal more with the conflict between the characters.
I don't know why it's rated R in the states. Up here it was 14A with the most nudity being Brad naked down to the lower hairline, which is nothing new. Guess I'l have to wait for the DVD director's cut.
Decent, I expected more somehow. Also I didn't like the way the changed the Achilles story, it made the whole concept of Achilles heel and the legend useless. The thing with Priam showing up in Achilles' tent, I don't remember if it was in the actual story but seemed a little bit ludicrous.

Great Movie...= to Gladiator in many respects, and in other ways, much better than Gladiator.
Question tho...did they rob the entire cats of Braveheart to star in this movie?
Menelaus = Hamish in Braveheart
Agememnon = Uncle Argyle in Braveheart
Glaucus = Hamish Father in Braveheart
Eudoros = Ruler of York (head cut off in a basket by Wallace in Braveheart.

Any more spotted?
I think they should of used the Prince in Braveheart instead of Orlando Bloom. I mean Orlando Bloom played a wimp in Troy...

talk about playing around with history for the sake of hollywood.
in roman society gladiators were the lowest of the low.
a roman emperor would sooner sleep with his own mother/ brother/sister than enter the gladitorial arena.
as to Troy.... of course hollywoods screws with the story.
the only reason to see Troy is to the great buffed one.

The Emperor in Gladiator does want to screw his sister
