Troy Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts Wolgang Peterson not only has a kick ass name he also can direct, on occasion. He has made some of the greatest movies of our time; Das Boot, NeverEnding Story, and Outbreak; but also he has had his follys like any other human being ie. The Perfect Storm and Bicentenial Man. And Troy almost was a instant classic but it fell short. Not for lack of Brad Pitt scantily clad or lack of hottness ie HELEN OF TROY. I mean it even had the Hulk and Legolas! The most unlikely duo in the history of crossover that didnt really happen. It had Brian Cox for god sake this movie cannot be bad, it is infallible. Or is it? Almost, it doesn't use its full potential of all out war havoc. Sure it never technically happened but that doesnt mean u cant make a movie about it. Troy feels like an epic and never "boars" but it had so much amazinpotential. Still all things considered it twas one of the best films for awile. This presummer lull is driving me crazy, damn u summer y cant u come sooner. Heaven ain't close in a place like this. I need my crappy action packed movies because that is what the american public wants and damned be it, if thats not what they are going to get summer movie fest! And one last thing men will be wearing skirts in the next 5 years. ****/***** "Somebody told me, you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend?"
