The story of a bored individual...

I think I have to stop watching movies, I haven't got a kick out of it in a long time, and "Troy" did nothing to change that.

It was an O.K. movie, but I didn't get emotionally involved in what happened, there was one scene toward the end where I started caring a little, but I'll write more about that in the spoiler section.

I didn't expect much, it was good, but I probably won't buy the DVD.

The battle scenes have been compared with LOTR, saying they're good, but doesn't come near to LOTR. This is true, they're good, but can't compare to LOTR.

The acting was good, Orlando wasn't as sucky as expected, but... lets say I was able to watch his scenes without giggeling... too much. :P
Brad Pitt was good, but it was hard to let go of the fact that he's Brad Pitt. In my eyes he's better suited to play contemporary roles, not historic ones.
Eric Bana did good, he's a good actor, and is still at that stage where he gives it his all, without going over the top.
Sean Bean, as good as ever.
Brian Cox, the man I love to hate... heh. Well, didn't really care until a point toward the end, but it's true; he really is a good psycho.
Of the main three females in this movie, it was Saffron Burrows that I liked the most. I've never liked her before, but I liked her in this movie.
It was nice to see Tyler Mane again, even though he didn't have much screen time.
Now the old squad, I  don't really have a clue. I don't feel like writing anymore, they were good.

I'll have to admit that I agree with some of the reviews I've read. This is a good movie, with a lot of really good shoots and scenes, but it lacks the emotion. The point where I started caring was just because it hit a personal aspect of my life, if that were not the case I doubt I would have gotten much out of it.

What gets me is that the guy who write the screenplay grew up with this story, and still they managed to turn in into a Hollywood thing.

Can't come up with anything else right now... might write more later.

Just got this virus message... found it kind of amusing:
This alert is warning you about a possible remote access Trojan horse program. A Trojan horse program masquerades as a legitimate program and damages or compromises the security of your computer.
Some Trojan horse programs perform malicious actions on the computer on which they are run, while others, such as Back Orifice, provide remote-control capabilities for hackers.
