    Has To Be Said......"Troy" is NO "Gladiator"

    Saw "Troy" premiere nite.........the best I can give it is to say its merely good, and that's all..........if you're expecting a movie as good as "Gladiator" you will be disappointed.

    I thought Bana was the best part of that picture. Helen of Troy was quite hot of course, but they sure didn't go out of their way to develop her character.

      I saw Troy last night, and I wasnt dissapointed.

      It is true it was no Gladiator, but I didnt expect it to be. I am not a big fan of Brad Pitt, but I think he played a pretty amusing badass in this movie.

                          I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up.

                          If you've read the Illiad and the Odessey, you'll find that it goes along the story exceptionally well. Orlando Bloom plays a very good pussy, Paris was no swordsman, but a highly acclaimed archer.

                          Brad Pitt plays Achilles well. Funny and completely arrogant, which makes him all the funnier, especially when he's not supposed to be funny.

                          Eric Bana (izzat right?) made a good Hector. And yes, Helen was HOT. Yum.

                          I can't compare it to Gladiator, because I didn't see Gladiator. But for a 2 hour and 42 minute movie, Troy was well worth the $7 to see.

                                          Whats with all the Gladiator Comparisons... not even the same time period.

                                          This is when the Greeks were at there peak. Before they were assimilated by the Romans.

                                              Saw it yesterday... Pitt can only play a psycho well (i.e 12 monkeys, fight club), anything having to do with drama or actual feeling, he pisses all over it.

                                              The movie was almost complete devoid of any emotion or Oscar-caliber acting. I should've waited for it on DVD... thats the feeling I walked out with.

                                                  I haven't seen the movie yet, but am really looking forward to it. I hope that it turns out to be good.

                                                                                                              thats not sayin' much. I dunno, Troy was a good movie but certainly not great, and I have to say I wasn't moved by any of it whereas I was completely into Gladiator. It was kinda disappointing what with the expectations put on it as it had to live up to one of the greatest stories ever, The Iliad. Definately not in the LOTR movies category regarding living up to the books on the big screen.

                                                                                                              Oh well. Guess we'll have to check out "The Day After Tomorrow" next, although that one will probably not be very deep.......but I'm looking to it irregardless.

                                                                                                                  i was wondering what troy would have been like if crowe had played achilles??

                                                                                                                  ironic that paris was the fucker that killed achilles,
                                                                                                                  in reality, helen came to loathe paris, not love him, hahh

                                                                                                                                  Do not get me wrong, Troy was nothing amazing. It was just simply "good". Not great, but sure as hell better than Gladiator. I didn't like that movie at all.

That it wasnt really based on the epic and a lot of people that werent supposed to die, died and the people that were supposed to die didnt
                                                                                                                                                              Nah, I can't say it sucked cause it didn't. But it wasn't a great movie either..........its a "tweener", merely good.........so if you go into it with big expectations, you will be disappointed. But if you go in thinking you are seeing a good movie, and not great, then you'll be ok with it.

Or how about Crowe in "Gladiator".........his unleash hell line.....loved it.....
