| I'm back, and a brief Troy bit. |
| 04.20.05 (8:15 pm) [edit] |
Well ...
blah blah blah. I'm back, whoopdie crap.
anyways, I'll be doing more of my biased game reviews, snarky reader put-downs, and what-have-yous.
It'll be easier now that the summer movie season has reinitiated. Plus with my weekly rentals I'll have a lot more games reviewed under my belt ...
Anyways, I'll kick it off with a review of the movie Troy.
Well ... quasi review ...
My bro's going to have a review of it up on his blog (link later). He watched the thing. But he showed me the action sequences and I was able to get some general things from it.
The fighting is cool. It's really darn cool. And it's a shame that the other shoddy elements of the movie detract from it.
ok, it's like a slightly incompitent person tried to make a film that combined 1950s spectacle (10 commandments) with Gladiator and the execution of a mid 90s Disney epic (3 musketeers).
They show both sides of the war, but there's distinct good-guy/bad-guy themes. Problem is, both sides recieve both ends of the good-guy/bad-guy treatment. It's rather confusing.
Another gripe is that the actors seemed to be in a competition to see who could pull of the most quoted line of the movie. So every line has a dramatic pause to it.
Also, there's some really cool camera shots. Problem is that ALL the camera shots seem to have the sweeping capture everything type movement.
To quote The Incredibles: And when everyone's special, no-one is.
