Troy

Two and One Half Stars
Brad Bitt, Orlando Bloom

This might be more a matter of missed expectations than anything else, but this movie was not what I had hoped. In fact, the only reason I rate it as highly as I do is becasue I like Brad Pitt movies, and he's fun to watch in this film. His character's not terribly impressive but that seems to be this case with the rest of the movie as well.

It's based on the works of Homer, specifically "The Iliad". Which starts out somewhat implauseable and over the top. The screenplay however is overbaked and takes the implausabilites of the ancient Greek text and turns them into inexplicable oversights.
