Now one of my favorite movies

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2004)

I can not begin to describe how good this movie was. It had everything almost perfectly blended into one movie. There was a little humor, there was sadness, mourning, war, love, action, suspense, drama, there was a little of everything in one story. And what's better, this all seems like it could be true. The battle tactics were pure genius.	The cast was perfect, and not just because the 3 main guys are total hunks. (Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom) But they all fit in together great and Peter O'Toole as the father was wonderful. All the actors just fed off each others energy it seamed, which is what they need to do.	I just think that this is a movie that will stand the test of time. You sit in the theater and watch it, but you also feel like you are in the movie. There were real people doing the battling, making it feel all the more realistic. It makes you want to grab your spear and shield and get in there and fight for whatever side you're rooting for. Because of these graphic battles though, and the love scenes, it is rated R. So it is not for children, but it is still a great movie.
