Good Movie *Spoilers maybe*

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2004)

Unlike the people I went to see this movie with I happened to like it quite a bit. I came in not expecting much from Brad Pitt so I was not disappointed in that category. Although he delivered some memorable lines his acting was overdone. On the other hand Diane Kruger was the complete opposite. Her acting was boring and very disinterested. Also Brad's nude scene ICK! Plus the Achilles/Briseis thing was unnecessary.
Now what I did like about this movie: I loved Eric Bana. I thought his portrayal of Hector was superb though occasionally goody goody gum dropish but altogether heroic and tragic. Plus he provided plenty of eye candy, too.;) I also liked Orlando Bloom. The people who are calling his character wussy are stupid. He was SUPPOSED to be wussy at times and not a great fighter. His naivete made him HUMAN and normal. I also thought he was really hot. Of course there were times when I was like, "Paris how could you?" But hey it's only a movie.
The one on one battles were beautiful and Hector and Paris looked really good in helmets. All in all it was quite an experience and I can't wait for the DVD.
