my comments on Troy

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2004)

I was so disappointed to see Orlando bloom as Paris in Troy. He looked not only short, physically unattractive(kind of even turning ladies off), he was naive, immature and a coward. He looked like a 15 year old standing beside beautiful Helena which made me wonder what did she find so attractive about this guy! Really, what could she find so alluring about a Bloom look alike Paris !!! I guess that's why she couldn't do her part well either. It seemed that somehow she only wanted to get ride of her husband and finally she found a way out but I am sure that it must have been a different sensation in Iliad.
About the scenes of the city and buildings, they looked so fake and above all it seemed that the whole story took place within two days!!! Brad was a bit disappointing too, he wasn't running around as much naked as I had red about it every where before the movie was released!
Please any one who wants to make a historical movie, ask Mr.Peter Jackson to direct and cut back a little of that Hollywood glamor so that we can feel being in the middle of things. Thanks
