Watched the 2004 film 'Troy' today....
Rated 55% on Rotten Tomatoes (best website ever by the way) but DAMN I thought it should have been rated a lot higher. The battle scenes were #**$@%$ amazing. I mean damn, they kicked it off right away with Brad Pitt taking down that big #*!*!@... and then the scene where Achilles battles Hector
. Hector just knew he was doomed
... he sorted out ALL his affairs. Said goodbye to his father, brother, wife, baby... made sure his wife had a safe place to go when Troy was sacked... he even pleaded to Achilles to go through with a proper burial, the whole 12-day ritual bit when one of them was killed (it's obvious he was just talking about himself though
) and Achilles just gives him the
and says "I'm going to rip out your eyes, ears, and nose, so when you go down to hell they all know "that is the idiot who thought he killed Achilles"...."
Brad Pitt and Eric Bana were great. I thought Diane Kruger was just average though.
9/10
