Trojan Man

Posted by pete at May 14, 2004 1:23 AM

Only one big studio release this week (no, I didn't see Breaking All the Rules), and that, of course, is Troy. My Film Threat review can be found here.

Short version: Bana, Cox, Bean, and O'Toole are great. Bloom is good. Pitt is in over his head. Runs a little long, but has some great fight scenes. And though I was toying with giving it 2 1/2 stars, I ended up giving it 3 out of 5.

I think I was just happy to see something that didn't totally blow.

my fiance as the credits roll after odysseus' final voiceover: "i can't wait to try out that shortcut home!"
