Well after reading all the opinions u guys had, im ready to give my own..

I think it was a good movie with good battle scenes... one of the most realistic ones i had ever set my eyes on (compared with lord of the rings with the orcs n stuff) And also the mixture of romance in war was pretty unique... I guess the REAL achilles wouldnt be blond... but this is hollywood hey? if u're good looking u get the role sorta way...

but i think the director did a good job, they had to change the movie a bit of course, because most of homer's iliad is based on gods... like apollo , athena and aphrodite, and how helen was borned from an egg??!! if they included the personified gods in Troy, the movie would have been a whole lot worst... i still stand by it as a good movie... it didnt bore me.... but people have different opinions.. so its up to the individual...

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the trailer looked like they used a LOT of CGI.  Those big battle scenes with the two armies clashing seemed to be infested with CGI.  Now I just need to go out and see the damned movie.

This movie put half our audience to sleep. I was surprised that the screen didn't have big bushy eyebrows and a swinging pocketwatch.

Sleep.....waste your money...sleeeeep.......

CGI is going to take over the world. Soon actors will all be cgi and the real actors will be paid lots of money just to do voiceovers. I can't stand the overuse of cgi, it's like watching a video game onscreen. I demand cheesy effects! I demand thousands of real live extras in battle scenes!

Why not?  The actors are just stand ins for the vision of the writer and director anyway?  I'm sure they would be perfectly happy to have CG actors  that would actually do what they wanted, without egos, demands, script re-writes, etc..

I totally noticed that! The movie almost made me cry...because of how bad it was.
