What a waste!

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2005)

One of the most poetic and beautiful sagas ever written and they have "inspired" it to death! The siege apparently didn't even last long enough for Brad Pitt's hair to get dirty. Pitt was uninspiring as a hero. Although he was quite effective as a pouting little brat. His great fighting skill consisted mostly of a jumping sucker punch with a sword. The film was apparently a vehicle to showcase his buffed body and lack of acting talent. Peter O'Toole was decent and I am pleased this is not his swan song, it would be a travesty. Orlando Bloom, while he looked the part of pretty Paris, certainly could have used some acting lessons because he was boring as a wooden horse, strike that, the wooden horse was slightly more interesting. It was a complete waste of time, money, and effort to watch it and an unspeakable waste to make it in the first place. All involved should be ashamed.
