Punk. :p |
Ebert is wrong.
It's not based. It's inspired. It even states so at the beginning of the movie. He probably missed that part while he was out getting popcorn. |

If I my faulty brain cells rememember correctly, in the book Paris fight menelaus but Aphrodite (Goddess of Love) saves Paris from certain death. Hector runs from no one.
Actually Hector is more formidable appearing in the books. The movie didn't make him seem an exceptional fighter. And also, the characters in the movie were probably not in as good physical condition as the Greek warriors probably were. Quote:

Just like a woman nitpicking on a great hero like Hector ;) I LIKED Hector.
I think Ajax was the Tall greek that as wielding something like a club in the movie. But he stood head and shoulders above most Greeks Around him. Hector killed him with great difficulty. Quote:

Sistermadly... I am jumping on your bandwagon. Only I had a gift certificate so I saw the movie for FREE! :p
Anyway... I dunno. Maybe I just don't get into period pieces that much. But I was ready to fall asleep. And Orlando was kind of a pansy in the movie. But after reading everyone's responses, I can understand why. I hadn't read up on reviews or anything about the history of the movie but studied Greek Mythology in school. I kept wondering throughout all the battles scenes... so where's the trojan horse? Luckily the movie wasn't too "Hollywood" and it was included. I dunno... I wasn't a huge fan of Gladiator when it came out and this movie reminded me of it. The only thing I was paying attention to was the fact that the cameraman liked to tease all the ladies with all those "close but no cigar" shots of Brad and Orlando. (no pun intended...:p ) And it was nice to see Orli use some of his LOTR skills. If he didn't I would have really started to wonder. Now I am going to go research the Illiad to see the real story. |
All I kept thinking when I saw Orlando was "you whiny wuss, if you would have kept your d### in your pants, none of this would have happened." Word to everyone who also looks at Orlando and says "I don't get it." Eric Bana is much cuter. Brad also looked good, although I've really only started liking him since I saw Fight Club. For years he was also on my "I don't get it" list.
The men in this film were definitely prettier than the women. :) I wouldn't have put a rowboat in the water for Helen let alone a thousand ships. I wish they would have incorporated more of the gods & goddesses angle into it, including Eris, the goddess of discord, forcing the judgement of Paris which is actually why the whole war started (it wasn't just Paris & Helen having a one nighter, lol). But I guess that's what "Clash of the Titans" is for. |
I thought Helen was kind of hot.
|
Or if Helen had kept her legs crossed and skirt down. :p
rrumour has it that Brad had a "Leg double" as a stand-in . . so the lower half shots may not have been him ladies . . .. Quote:
