    Troy

    Anybody seen the "Troy" movie yet? Is it good or bad? Opinions please, but think of using the spoiler tags in case you want to reveal something surprising from the storyline (for example that Achill survived because they wanted a happy end )

    I have HORRIFIC memories of reading the Iliad. Such a LONG poem...

    No, haven't seen it, would probably have flashbacks to my childhood if I did.

              I'm interested in this, too. Advertisements look good.
              Of course, the lying advertisement bastards can make anything look good.

                I loved the Iliad. One of my all-time favorite works.

                I've seen the promos for Troy, and I have mixed feelings. While I have high hopes considering it's Wolfgang Petersen, the promos all show a movie that looks way over produced and over acted.

                Ugh.

                  Brad Pitt as Achilles is just sad- I don;t know much about Bana, so I have no clue about his Hector. Bloom as Paris? Well, Paris is a schmuck anyways.

                  I forget who does Agamenon, and I wonder about who will play Patroculous, or whatever Achilles best buddy's name was.

                      Brian Cox is Agamemnon, so his character is in safe hands. Cox is an amazing actor And Brendan Gleeson is Meneleus, which is a good choice as well.

                      Garrett Hedlund is Patroclus. He's an unknown.

                      And Sean Bean is Odysseus. Another safe bet to be a good performance.

                      I'm surprised at Peter O'Toole playing Priam. I never pictured Priam being that old, and I thought O'Toole was in such bad health that making movies wasn't possible anymore. Good to see him still in the game.

                        I share GePap's view about Pitt as Achilles, but those are good names.

                          So when do we see Bean as Odysseus in The Odyssey?

                              Or how about Cox in the title role of Agamemnon? Or a movie of Electra?
