Has To Be Said......"Troy" is NO "Gladiator" - GoFuckYourself.com

Bansheelinks · 05-17-2004, 09:57 AM

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.

Blaze · 05-17-2004, 09:59 AM

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.

EviLGuY · 05-17-2004, 10:16 AM

Yeah it was an alright movie.. better then I really even expected going in.

arial · 05-17-2004, 10:18 AM

Movie just didn't do it for me.

Tala · 05-17-2004, 10:27 AM

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.

Jill_J · 05-17-2004, 11:36 AM

still haven`t seen it... worth seeing?

That's for sure.. Gladiator is another movie... Troy is quite good..

zzgundamnzz · 05-17-2004, 03:52 PM

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.

stevecore · 05-17-2004, 03:53 PM

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.

Stasia · 05-17-2004, 03:53 PM

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

stev0 · 05-17-2004, 03:54 PM

i'll probably wait till its out on DVD...

axelcat · 05-17-2004, 03:54 PM

Im sure troy is a cool movie but gladiator was a classic

I don't know about that. Brad Pitt was good in Legends of the Fall.

LadyMischief · 05-17-2004, 03:56 PM

I still can't wait to see Troy

NakedBo · 05-17-2004, 03:56 PM

I still have to go see it. I have seen a program on tv last night on how they made the movie and it looks like an cool movie to go too

marko13 · 05-17-2004, 04:00 PM

you have to give the film time to be good. You aren't make the fortune for the film. The majority do. so wheather or not troy will be good film.

Sidenote :

After Goodfellas (my very top 1), Gladiator is the best movie I seen in my life, and I seen a lot...

After this, not in particular order :

merlin77 · 05-17-2004, 04:32 PM

I still can't wait to see it. I definately loved Gladiator, but it's in no way comparable with Troy.

Nysus · 05-17-2004, 04:33 PM

I'm still not sold on seeing it in theatres, but I think it'd be good to see it on big screen, with big sound, etc..

Cheers,

roscoe98 · 05-17-2004, 04:37 PM

saw it last night . Best i can say is it got me out for 3 hours.

ALiEn_OuT · 05-17-2004, 04:41 PM

I Still really want to see it... though i'm discouraged as i didn't find gladiator that great

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.

sltr · 05-17-2004, 04:50 PM

tru gladiator is the superior flick.

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

TweetyBird · 05-17-2004, 04:52 PM

I had planned to go see it friday night... darn, I'm not sure anymore

EnigmaTek · 05-17-2004, 04:53 PM

I couldn't tell which character Brad Pitt was trying to portray?

Helen or Troy McClure, hello you may remember me from such movies as Smokey and the Ass Bandit or Lensman, the Man the Myth

AVM · 05-17-2004, 06:48 PM

Troy > Gladiator

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.

NikkiNevada · 05-17-2004, 06:57 PM

I watched Troy lastnight. Personally, I really liked the movie. It's especially good if you're a huge Brad Pitt fan like me

Shooter · 05-17-2004, 06:58 PM

I haven't seen it yet, but my friends liked it a lot.

reynold · 05-17-2004, 07:16 PM

I've seen the movie. I think it's ok but nothing really spectacular about it.

Mr. Marks · 05-17-2004, 08:24 PM

Troy is a good movie actually, but nothing compares to Russell Crowe's "Gladiator". It was an awesome movie and is worth watching again.

I heard that Troy sucked, I really was hyped up to see it but I hear lots of bad reviews coming back. 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.

bhutocracy · 05-18-2004, 01:06 AM

I want to see it for the same reason im going to see "the day after", brainless epic movie to be watched on the big screen, i like bana as an actor, and pitt certainly has his moments but im not expecting much after watching the preview where he says "it's yours - take it!" with all the conviction of a corny highschool play... no gravitas or whatever.

Yeah he wasn't exactly like King Theoden rallying the troops to courage up at the Fields of Pelleanor in "Return of the King, " or Aragorn doing the same at the Black Gates entrance. Or how about Crowe in "Gladiator".........his unleash hell line.....loved it.....

But still Troy was an ok movie, just nothin' great.

=^..^= · 05-18-2004, 02:10 AM

i thought gladiator sucked
saw it again on tv a few nights ago - and it just confirmed to me that it really did suck
so i HOPE troy is better
