Troy! Great movie! Even though they changed the story a bit it was still mostly loyal to the original, I think. (We didn't cover the Illiad in high school, you know) The relationships in this story are believable and convincing. I was especially touched by Hector's (with his wife, brother, etc.).
I like Eric Bana's Hector. His fight scene with Achilles was incredible! Great battles all around, without much unnecessary gore.
There were amazing visuals, the flaming arrows scene is one example. And there was this music that gives the vibes that someone's going to die. (Yeah I know there's a war so people are bound to die, but still.)
Watch it! Definitely not a waste of time!
