It's a disgrace. As an adaptation of The Iliad, it's a pathetic joke. But even on its own crude, blockbusting terms, Troy feels like a depressingly ordinary Lord of the Rings spin-off, peppered with uninvolving battle scenes and self-important intrigue
************
Lots of reviews I've read slate the film and it is amazing that they've removed the Gods from this Greek mythological tragedy. It looks like Hollywood have created another big budget dumbed-down film for the simpletons of this world.
I'll watch it and make up my own mind of course, but I fear the worst.

"I loved every minute!" - Paul Ross
No Gods?
I'd have thought that'd be a perfect excuse for some CGI crazy-ness, rather than a slightly over the top fleet of ships.

Would anyone else oppose the public removal of the hands (or tongue) of Paul Ross, so we aren't subjected to his madness?

Hopefully it won't be as bad as they say it is, as I am going to see it.
Went and saw it. Pretty good, although it was extremely long and was interspersed with very long and boring talking.
The action was impressive CGI wise, but it wasnt actually that interesting, and Achilles only seemed to have one cool move which he milks completely throughout the film.
And the story has been changed a hell of a lot. *shakes fist angrily*

This is the second film that looks like it will disappoint me this summer, I was looking forward to the concept of Van Helsing, and this, but reviews haven't been great.
Guess I'll find out for myself soon enough. (I just know Sean Bean as Odysseus will rule though - they should do a sequel of The Odyssey)
