Troy looked... I'm not sure. I hear they've cut out all the gods and goddesses - how can you tell the Iliad without the gods? Bloom looks prettier than the girl playing Helen, and Achilles (Brad Pitt)... well, you know there always were those rumors about Achilles and his buddy Patroklus...

Sean Bean looked good, as did the guy playing Hector. I'll probably see it, after its opening weekend so the fangirls have all seen it at least once.
