Troy-Umphant
Review of Troy (Wide Screen) by
migitaldave
Advantages: Everything about this film
Disadvantages: I have no quarms
...job has been done on Troy and Kudos to the team behind the screens.
Brad Pitt shows fantastic emotion and moves like a saint in matrix style camera shots with the most convincing graphical images i have seen in a long time.
Orlando Bloom shows true quality with his emotes and the pain i could see in his eyes when he was about to be killed. i cried when he ran to the feet of hector.
Eric Bana Fits the role perfectly and is infallible throughout ... ...swordplay and fantastic choreography. The choice of actors has no faults and i cried more than once in the film, gripping my seat to find out what happened next, even though i knew what was coming.
The film made me wish for a different ending that i knew would never come.
This is the type of film that the director, and actors have put their hearts into, and sweep yours into the watching.
You finish the film in silence as it has touched you. I ...

aaaarg me hearties & aarhhhh heartless
Review of National Treasure / Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl DVD by
earlofaldgate
Advantages: awash with bucklers being swashed
Disadvantages: treasure that should remain buried
what a combination, National treasure is so dire I find it difficult to imagine how these 2 could be paired up together other than a Disney smash cash tie in. take my advice, buy POTC on its own!
National treasure - Nicolas 'Francis ford coppola got me the job' cage stars in this duck as a treasure hunter following in his father/grandfathers/great-grandfathers footsteps. Tales of Masonic/knights templar treasure send him from the arctic to new York ... ...just get POTC and ditch national treasure as that should be left buried in my opinion.
2 discs, no extras, £15 on Amazon new, £11 used
I had to give it poorer ratings due to the inclusion of National treasure.the effects in POTC were pretty good but stunts/action/excitement were pretty thin on the ground with national treasure
not sure if this is allowed but i met a 'pirate' in Sydney in april this year who was the spitting image of Depp, here's ...

Achilles Heel
Review of Troy (Special Edition) by
bisonhead
Advantages: Epic Battles
Disadvantages: It's utter rubbish
...I had with ithe film Troy was that it tried to fit far too much in to the run time, the Illiad, from which Troy is based, is an epic book, which could have made for many great stories, for once I would have preffered Troy to be broken up in to many films. The war lasted 10 years in the book but it seems about 10 days in the film.
It has some great set pieces and in my opinion the only actor to come out of this with any credit is Eric Bana who played ... ...seemed like bad casting, he didn't seem beliavable for a great warrior.
I would reccomend watching the animated series Ulysses which is a futuristic tale also based on the Illiad and is very entertaining to boot.
When I watched this in the cinema I was also made to sit through the entire end credits incase my friends name popped up as his drama group provided "shouts" for the battle scenes. he wasn't mentioned either which annoyed him and to me ...

Golden Bond
Review of Goldeneye (Two Disc) (Ultimate Edition) by
Timbo3107
Advantages: Refreshed, rejuvanated and reworked.
Disadvantages: Far too much product obvious placement
...took the part of Bond. GoldenEye was to be the first film in 6 years. The title of the film comes from the name of the Jamaican retreat that Fleming lived in whilst writing the novels back in the 1950’s.
A lot had also changed with the production team as well. As producer Cubby Broccoli, writer Richard Maibaum and main titles director Maurice Binder had all passed away. Leadership of EON, the company that produces the Bond films had been passed ... ...an actor, it is in GoldenEye that I will always remember him for. As soon as you see him you know who it is and was very surprised at how well he played the role. In the role he plays a small time criminal who acts as a liaison for Bond. Overall the cast is a truly international set of actors and actresses that have been bought together, Brosnan and Bean go well together as they are different in looks and stature. ---Soundtrack---
