I hate going to movies when the other person is going to come 'later', making you leave your seat, tell someone to hold it for you, and then go outside to hand them their ticket so that they can get their ass inside in time. Meanwhile you are missing never-before-seen previews that'll take a month to come to Quicktime's movie trailers.

And then comes the part I hate the most... walking up the aisle to get to the third row from the top where you usually sit, right in the middle. That gives you the best possible angle and viewing distance to see Troy.

Troy's mostly about Achilles, heck, it could have been called 'Achilles' if there had been a naming conflict. Sure, there are other semi-protagonists in there like Eric Bana, but when you stand against Achilles, you are an enemy. That's why for the entire 163 minute run of the movie I rooted for the Greeks and Achilles, who were fighting the Trojans because one of the Greek queens had ran off with a Trojan prince played by Orlando Bloom. That's fucked up... I mean, how could a queen run off? She's a fucking queen for God's sake.

Anyway, she did what she did, and screwed up everything. But she did some good by giving Wolfgang Petersen a great base for a brilliant post-LOTR era epic staring Brad Pitt as Achilles, Eric Bana as Hector, Orlando Bloom as his brother Paris and Diane Kruger as Paris' beautiful runaway queen Helen. A number of other notable actors are there too, playing Kings and all.

Final words: It's a very good movie and you should shell out the $9 bucks to see it in a theater... I mean come on, the damn thing cost almost $200 million.
