I'm not even really going to start on Troy aside from I was pissed off and the annoying thing was that everyone around me loved the movie. That movie gave me a start of an idea of what hell is like. Troy plays 24 hours a day and everyone acts like you're a mental defective for not enjoying it. One point though I have to mention is that they condensed the whole Iliad down from ten years to ten days. Scrapes and wounds people took hadn't even turned into scars by the end of the movie.
We Were Soldiers was a good movie and accurate enough definately. Mel Gibson deserves credit for that one, but it would be nice if he could do a movie right that isn't in a setting fresh in recent memory. You know, something that requires a bit of research. If Mel Gibson hadn't lived roughly during the Vietnam era and has known people that did he might have dressed the actors up in kilts again.
