Just got home from seeing this - thought it was very very cool

action scenes were great, could of had better choreographey- it was kinda of a weird use of blood and felt like they were holding back on going all out

plot wise and dialouge was pretty good - strong plot to keep the movie and the character development going. nice use of dialouge too.

the music for the movie was well used, editing was great, some of the shots are particularly memorable

acting was great, especially Peter O'Toole and Eric Bana is the highlight of the whole movie

if it gets nominated for anything at the oscars id like to see Eric Bana nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Art Design

overall 4/5 - it coulda been a 5/5 but it felt like it was holding back a little in the action and wasnt the best decision to cast Brad Pitt despite he is a good actor, he didnt suit the role

i dont think its out in america yet - movies in australia get released on thursdays and from what i understand on fridays in america - so its out tomorrow

^ not once its been americanized

whats the movie even about?

Comes out tomarrow for me...

The movie is about how Paris steals Helen, and the king of Sparta (along w/ his brother's nation) wages a full-scale war on Troy.  Pitt is Achilles, the greatest warrior of his time, who leads the Spartan Army.

I really wanna see it.

thanx bez... LOL u really helped me there!

n e time

Well, I saw it.  Good movie.  My brother and I were talking though... what kind of bitch dies from getting shot in the FOOT.  






Anyways.  I digress.







I liked the guy they got to play Odysseus, but I'll bet they won't make a new Odyssey with him.  The poor girl they got to play Helen must have a lot of pressure on her, she's now "The face that launched a thousand ships".  She was pretty, I thought it might be Natalie Portman with her hair dyed blonde but it's some german chick.  Ironically, they had Paris played by Orlando Bloom who's probably prettier than Helen.  He always looked like a girl to me in the Lord of the Rings movies.  

Brad Pitt did a good job in the movie.  They choreographed his nearly super-human fight scenes well, that scene where he threw the spear was amazing.. the way he moves and fought was very well done.  


The best line of the movie was


"Tonight you'll have no eyes, no ears, no mouth to speak with... You'll wonder the underworld forever, and people will whisper 'there is Hector, the fool who Thought he killed Achilles"
