why do people hate this movie? I thought it was great
>>217225370I thought it was a hit when it came out. Did people suddenly pretend they don't like it anymore? I'm out of the loop.
>>217225408
>>217225370>>217225408>muh mythical gods turned into mortals
too long?
>>217225370I fucking hate Paris
I can't stand Pitt's pouty fag face and girly hair. Never seen the movie but every time I see the poster I'm instantly put off.
>>217225370It's entertaining, but it was never really praised. I remember even my normie friends and family thought it was sorta mid and the achilles performance was just serviceable.
>>217225370Peak Pitt but otherwise pretty lame.
Perfectly fine movie. Kino for me. In ant case there is quite literally nothing to dislike. Did very well at the box office too. Everything else is just retarded closeted critics with a hateboner for Pitt and zoomer revisionism.
>>217225370>why do peopleShut up faggot. The movie is great.
>>217225370dialog with Achilles: if you don't fight, you won't be remembered.dialog with Achilles: if you don't fight, you won't be remembered.dialog with Achilles: if you don't fight, you won't be remembered.dialog with Achilles: if you don't fight, you won't be remembered.it's becoming tiresome.terrible terrible lack of idea.
>>217225370I like it fuck the reviewercels
>>217225370It's good for what it is. Got tired fast of that era of entertainment being obsessed with demystifying mythical stories.And we aren't out of it yet judging by the shit Nolan is cooking
it's ok but I turn 360 degrees and walk away after Priam gets Hector's body, final act is shitalso I hate the depiction of Ajax(not the actor)
>>217225370too many big profile actors.It was always just brad pitt and orlando bloom saying lines, I never bought into their characters, it felt hollywood bland.and apart from a few good scenes its very tedious and boring.
>>217225370No Greek gods
>>217225370Love this movie. I always quote this scene. Whenever someone in traffic does something that almost kills them, like swerving across 5 lanes to make their exit, I just mutter under my breath >the man wants to die In the same tone and inflection
It's fine, but I didn't really care for much of the casting or how events in the story were portrayed in the movie. I think Pitt is overrated, Bloom was terrible, Ajax's portrayal sucked, no Diomedes
I will allways have blue balls for an Odyssey movie with actual mythology starring Sean Bean's Odysseus.Nolan making that cringe shit is salt in the wound
>>217227556It’s very quotable >IMMORTALITY! Take it! It’s yours!>Thats why nobody will remember your name.
>>217225370I loved it even after i left the theatre in 2004.I had some minor gripes about not properly addressing the gods and mythology enough but the Hector vs Achilles fight is sonperfect i forgave the movie>stand up Prince of Troy, I shall not have my glory taken by a stoneKino
>>217226772>a greek tragedy working Kleos intonits narrative is lack of ideaHoly smooth brain
>>217228111Checked >your are the fiercest warriors, you are LIONS >does he expect to take the beaches of Troy with 50 men??!!>HECTOOOOOOOOOOR>you have taken the vows of celibacy? The men of Troy must be weeping tonight
>>217228111knew a guy.we are no longer friends
>>217226772This is the basis for western civilization you dumb fag
>>217227264>And we aren't out of it yet judging by the shit Nolan is cookingAre you retarded? It's been confirmed that Nolan's Odyssey will have gods and mythological elements.
>>217225370What weirdo hates Troy?
>>217225427We didn't know how good we had it back then
>>217225427Kek, nostalgiafags BTFO.
>>217228187Somedays i want to end it allBut then others i remember that Holywood casted physical peak Brad Pitt as mother ducking Achilles. Cinematic achievement of that half century right there alone
>>217225370The only good parts were Agamemnon and Odysseus. They had some good quotes. Otherwise it's a shit film.
Achilles kinda forgot about being attracted to men.
>>217225370They complain that there are no gods involved and that they won't spend 10 years fighting.
>>217225370a solid and entertainment movie,I give it a 07/10too bad they didn't have all of the dialogue in ancient greek I'd give the upcoming Nolan's turd if its dialogue was in greek
>>217225370Should've made a movie about Heracles, who sacked Troy in a matter of days. Greeks fell off after him
>>217228164>>217228192you have reading comprehension problem.i don't despise Homer.let me rephrase it for your little brain:dialog with Achilles 1: if you don't fight, you won't be remembered.dialog with Achilles 2: if you don't fight, you won't be remembered.dialog with Achilles 3: if you don't fight, you won't be remembered.dialog with Achilles 4: if you don't fight, you won't be remembered.and yes, it's tiresome.
>>217228458I'd be mad if my twink slave got murdered but draggin the corpse around the city walls and then raping the corpse is a little uncalled for
Brad Pitt was horribly casted as Achilles. Other than that it’s a pretty decent movie.
>>217230088Who should have playyed Achilles? Colin Farrell?
>>217230088Why?
>>217230088But Sean Bean, Brian Cox, Eric Bana and Peter O'Toole were greatDiane Kruger was also perfectly beautiful, but the implants took me out a bit
>>217228310There's a slew of average films being praised by zoomers now because the bar is laying in the fucking dirt.
>>217228356>74% from actual people>53 from subhuman "critics">Nostalgiafags BTFO??
>>217228274Must be pretty tiresome for that guy to get typecast as the dumb brute who jobs to a good guy every fucking movie.
It's a weak 6/10 movie. The actors looks like modern actors which they are and not like ancient people (Pitt specially). It's corny as fuck too.
>>217228430I would accept Achilles being depicted as a faggot if the scene where he falls in love with the amazon bitch AFTER already killing her made it in.
>>217225370I think it has issues in its supporting cast. Too many boomers, Peter O'toole, Julian Glover and like 4 others, very dry performances from them.
>>217231960This. I would say that their barometer is misaligned to objective quality because they also simply do not watch movies made before 2000. Even before 2010 is pushing it. They literally don't know how good movies can be, so they consider average movies great.
>>217225370Why does an adaptation of the Iliad not have the greek gods? Why was Achilles present during the start of the invasion of Troy? In reality he spent the first several years of the war hiding away on an island, crossdressing and LARPing as a woman.
>>217225370It was a throwback to the epics of the 50s and 60s with an all-star cast and lots of melodrama, so it divided the audiences of 2004. Still, most people seemed to like it.
>>217225370What movie?
>>217225370>why do people hate this movie?They don't, fuck you.
>>217225370Because they haven't watched the Director's Cut. For most people this is literally the only reason.
>>217225370>why do people hate this movie? I thought it was greatGreek here. We don't hate it. Well we did initially when it came out, but it was because of this movie, with Brad Pitt being a blonde muscular god + the German whore being a blonde sexy goddess, that people started associating this look with the Greek people, when nothing could be further from the truth. This movie probably did more for our tourism industry than anything our dogshit government could ever imagine, because deluded foreigners thought we all looked like Brad Pitt/Dianne Kruger. Before this movie, I know a lot of Americans didn't consider us white, and now they do. Feels good man.>pic related is your typical Greek
>>217232495>The actors looks like modern actors which they are and not like ancient people (Pitt specially).How could they have looked like ancient people?
>>217225370It feels/looks too Hollywood for its own good, like you're watching a stage play version of Troy which does not seem to be what they were going for. Pitt & Orlando Bloom are noticeably terrible.
>>217228111>>217227556HECTOOR!
>>217232669What's so special about the dir's cut? What did it add to the experience?
>>217225370outside of a couple of scenes it's profoundly mediocrei don't think anyone hates it, but people definitely hold it in higher regard than they should
>>217232806Moustachios?
>>217232553I remember doing a double feature of There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old men back in high school. I went home and pirated The Man from Earth. We were drowning in kino and had no idea.
>>217233151>The Man from EarthNever sawn this. Is it kino?
>>217225370I never even knew it was hated. I always thought it was amazing
>>217225370One of cases where theatrical cut is mid but director's cut is better. More people have seen the tc than the dc.
>>217233517What's so special about the director's cut?
>>217231881Idk why Diane Kruger gets shit on. She is a solid 8/10 in this movie. And i am pretty sure Eva Green and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (true 10/10s) were too young when this came out
>>217232703But weren't the principals & founders of the Trojan War and Greece in general actual blonde/blue Aryans? Historically, those have been people of moment and prominence, while the swarthy folk were just the rabble. At least in (ancient) Europe.
>>217233573way gorier
>>217225370literally one of my favourite movies. people complain about no muh gods, but that would make this a completely different movie and is just way harder to make serious and cool. more often than not you would end up with shit like the cgi clash of the titan
>>217232463he got to hang out with brad pitt for a day or two, that's probably a cool thing to tell your friends.
>>217233781Ok, so it's actually worse, then; got it.
>>217232703>German whoreYou will blame the actress who did nothing but try and get a paycheck, but not the directors who cast her knowing perrfectly well she wasn't greek. Get a grip of yourself.
>>217233968during the purge of troy at the end someone throws a baby into a fire
>>217234071Did they burn books, too?
>Your budttboy cousin decides to impersonate you and gets jobbed>Suddenly this is a crime, because you couldn't control your buttboy and he got killed, you blamed the guy who killed him>everyone just stops fighting because of the tragedy of this one bottom bitch buttboy getting ACK'd>go on a roid rage because your buttboy is no longer there to accept cock in assholeWhy are the greeks like this? It's all very very gay
>>217233274It's my go to example of good sci-fi on zero budget, along with Primer. It was written by an original Star Trek writter in the 60s, his friends got it made shortly after his death. It's free on YouTube, check it out.
>>217225427>>217225370I always like it Too kino for amerimutts audience I guess, they all hate historical movie that wasnt centered around muttland
>>217229120you have a comprehension problem. the whole poem is repetitive on purpose. you are a dumb faggot. go watch Batman
>>217225472There were no gods in the movie
