Troy Review

cashew and I watched "Troy" today.
Here's some advice toossian if you want to watch it, either in the theaters or on DVD:
1) Skip the first 15 minutes or so of the movie.
2) Stop watching right about the time that Achilles drags Hector's body back to camp. Everything after that DID NOT HAPPEN, dangit.
3) Close your eyes every time Helen, Paris (except for his fight with Menelaus), or Briseis appears onscreen.
Everything else (which is like, half the movie?) is watchable, even good at times, wich was a very pleasant surprise for us. Then again, I guess going into the theater with rock bottom expectations sorta made any positive aspects of the film a pleasant surprise.
( Anyway, the actual review: )
