I agree. Even if some reviewer I saw said that the battle scenes looked "more like ill-mannered shoving with spears than actual combat" (i.e. like Troy or LotR)... <p></p><i></i>

film - Anonymous - 08-13-2004
so can't wait for this film.<br>
<br>
it will never be perfect, but from all the 'behind the scenes' stuff i've read, i'm betting it will be good.<br>
<br>
they're even tackling the Alex/Heph relationship as more than just buddies. kinda brave for Hollywood.<br>
<br>
biggest complaints i've heard are about casting "they don't look right". well, that's true. but the purpose of a major film is to make money. <p></p><i></i>
Re: film - Anonymous - 08-14-2004
Sounds good. I'm anxious waiting for it. <p></p><i></i>
