Jethers203 0 #1 May 16, 2004 I must say that TROY is the coolest movie I have ever seen in my life. I would strongly recomend the movie to anyone and everyone. If you liked Gladiator, you will absolutely love this movie. Brad Pitt kicked some serious ASS and played his part really really well. For all you ladies who think this wouldn't be your thing, Pitt shows his ass all over the place. Now, I am not one for dudes asses, but if it will get you ladies to the movies, your men can see some quality ass kicking and you will like it as well. If anyone doesn't like it, I will give you my rig. That is a bold thing to say, and of course I am lying, but I know you will like it.

aprilcat 0 #2 May 16, 2004 I didn't like it. Now hand over that rig. KIDDING...but love your post especially 'quality ass kicking'. I saw the previews and I'm pretty fascinated by Pitts thighs. Yeah, though we may not tell you, we drool too . But for the record, I'll see it as soon as possible and make SURE I hate it if I can get your rig.~~April P.S. I got my degree in Film Studies...so if I say I hate it, I can give you 800 reasons why. Start adjusting those straps Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

SpeedRacer 1 #3 May 16, 2004 Haven't seen the film, but I've read the Iliad by Homer. I still can't understand why the entire Greek nation would go and fight a ten year war over some chick running off with another guy.

Jethers203 0 #4 May 16, 2004 Dude, that is just a reason for the Greeks to conquer Troy. Agamemnon (The King) wanted to conquer Troy, so he used the "You Rat Bastards, Your Sissy ASS Prince (Paris / Orlando Bloom) Jacked My BRO's (Menalaus) Hot ASS Chick" EXCUSE!!! It seriously works everytime and it worked for the Greeks. Well, at least well enough to get 50,000 of them on 1,000 ships to sail there and really kick each others ASSES. Now, I don't want to sound like I live for this shite, but that movie seriously inspired me to go take over a country. I don't know which yet, so help would be appreciated. I also read a similar book, Aeschylus' Oresteia in a college english class and it began with Agamemnon returning from his victory in TROY. I actually forgot that it was a 10 year war, but I can't believe I learned something from english. Anyway, again, go see the movie. It is well worth it and they wrap the war up in a few hours rather than 10 years. Clint D-24352 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TribalTalon 0 #7 May 16, 2004 i thought it was great, but the girl that i saw it with felt the burning need to give me a full commentary. Finally about halfway through, i was like, okay. i'm sorry, i know you paid for my ticket, but SHUT UP! haha. Brad Pitt was definitely looking uber buff, i took greek mythology in college so i already knew the story which kinda took some fun out of it but it was still bad ass anyway. My only qualm was that in the huge battle scenes it seems like the cameras were way too close up, you couldnt see shit at all, just arms and legs and blood. *Shrugs* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunaplanet 0 #8 May 16, 2004 Quotesome of my friends just saw it and said it was "ok but not great" Yeah, it's what they call opinions. You go to a movie based on your own feelings, not someone elses. I love these threads where it's a ping-pong game back and forth yelling It rocked/It sucked/No it rocked/No it sucked/No it didn't it rocked/No it didn't it sucked. Kind of pointless.

Kind of pointless. isn't this the same as those speaker's corners posts that you are so fond of? yeah maybe we should just stick to hard facts and never any opinions. or we should choose our stance on movies based off of scientific facts from the movies. also, most people like to hear if the movie was good or not from others who have seen it. since not many people here know me personally, whats the difference between my opinion and my friends opinion?

It was ok nothing great and they butchered the story pretty well too. Decent special FXs, but if its action and battle scenes you want rent Braveheart or Lord of the Rings 2.

Jethers203 0 #18 May 17, 2004 You all know nothing. That movie was kick ass. I agree the story wasn't all straight from history, but if it was, it would have lasted 12 or so years. Clint D-24352 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilcat 0 #19 May 17, 2004 And the winner iiiiiiiiiiiiiis....Skipro101!! hand it over! I will agree with Casurf1978 that LOTR2 totally rocks. It was 'crowded' to the point where you didn't GIVE a flying who was doing what, but when the trees starting kicking ass....um...um...WOW! Skip, I think you will have to be a little point-specific before you get his rig, but I'm a witness. Copy your movie stub and attach to the thread!

I give it 6 outta possible 10. They did hack the story pretty good. Great fight scenes though. "Gladiator" definitely kicks it's butt.... Total time should have been limited to 2 hours max..

Deuce 1 #23 May 17, 2004 I saw it and I thought it completely sucked. The warrior mentality was completely misunderstood by that director. Angst was not an emotion Achilles would have spent much time with. Guys like that really enjoy battle, and not once did we see Brad show how much fun it was to slay his enemies. I was very surprised, but "The Last Samurai" actually did a great job on the warrior mentality. Bleh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kansasskydiver 0 #24 May 17, 2004 Just saw it yesterday with 2 friends. Pretty good movie. It's long, but didn't even notice it, and usually I get really tired of sitting for 2.5 hours plus. I'd say go see it, it's not great, but it's pretty good, especially if you follow the Greek Mythology stuff or ever read it. They followed it very closely and was very well presented.<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
