beauty in boys not helen

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2004)

troy was brilliant. i loved every part of this movie, but one...diane kruger. helen was supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the world, and not only is diane kruger not that, she isn't even the most beautiful woman in the movie. i suppose it would be hard to be on screen surrounded by beautiful actors and actresses and have to live up to being the prettiest, but i think they could have found someone who would have had an easier time at it. the action was amazing, the acting good, and the casting almost perfect. orlando and eric look so alike, that it was hard to believe that they aren't real brothers. brad pitt stunned me with his buff body and angry persona, with the sensitivity oozing out all the rough edges. talk about an all star cast to make a movie bigger than life...i suppose that is just what was needed to put together a movie based on a story so grand itself.
