Had a great adventuress evening!

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2004)

We went to see the Troy yesterday. Having read the book, I was quite hesitant to go as I can't quite see Brad Pitt as a half-god. This was in no way an issue though. The film is based on the book, but doesn't aspire to be true to it, which is a good thing in this case. The result is an adventure so filled with action and feelings that I believe my heart rate was up way above 160 beats/minute at times. Of course they'd used a lot of data animation, but it wasn't disturbing at all. The make-up-artists and the tailors have had a field day, very impressive. The cast? Great, what else can I say when they managed to get Peter O'Toole, Sean Bean, Eric Bana et al together??? Go and see the movie!
