I looked at my watch twice waiting for the saga to end...

Pretty good movie...too long. I was highly anticipating the release of this movie as a summer blockbuster, but in all honesty I think it was a failure. The movie never grabbed me and I was dumbfounded that it didn't. The battle scenes were the best part of the movie. This was 5 times more bloody than The Passion of the Christ I thought. A sword gets stuck in someone's skull for crying out loud. What is it with Orlando Bloom and bows and arrows? He shot them in the Lord of the Rings trilogies, and now in this movie. I thought his character in Troy def. made him out to be a coward. Little wimpy boy had to resort to his bow and arrow, and he contributed the cause of the entire conflict and battle. Anyways, just my 2 cents.
