Troy

Rating: 1/10 (10 September 2005)

Well I finally watched Troy - I really enjoyed the interpretation of Homers Tale.
I Thought that how Brad played Achilles was inspired.
You could actually believe that character he played was what the legend was based on. Hector was fantastic even Paris, then what happened.
The usual, Hollywood steps in, I know they have artistic licence but to pervert a story that has been around for Thousands of years just for a good fight scene at the end, it spoilt it for me.
My son watched this now he thinks the film is gospel - that is if I hadn't told him what happened in Homers rendition. I know a poison arrow in the heel isn't as exciting but when it is the whole basis for us having an chillies tendon (shrugs shoulders) and before you answer the token shot at the end still didn't do it for me>
