I sat the two hours of The Day After Tomorrow and waited for ANY story to begin. It was such a waste of time. You don´t find any relation to any of the protagonists, the tricks are technical perfect maybe, except of those awful cgi-wolves...the actors weren´t packing me, all above that girl - don´t remeber her name- who almost died which didn´t affend me in any way...well, so disappointing for my whole family (hubby, 15-year-old daughter; the other three kids are too young)...
BUT: all of us three and my whole clique are absolutely infected with that super hero thing of TROY. This movie is fantastic. The tricks, the buildings, the probs, the music, the plot, EVERYTHING...and all above the great actors, Pitt, Bana, Bloom, the ladies (except that Helen girl), O`Toole, Cox, they all were so great. I watched it several times now and each time I sit and am excited, I cry each time for Hector, his wife, Achilles and Briseis, for the King of Troy, for Patrokles. It´ll be one of my all-time-favourites.
Regarding the historical side...did you ever read the Ilias? you acn´t make a movie out of it, you have to change the plot to bring it to screen, and it had been made fantastic in my opinion...
Achilles and Hector did the best duell in film history I think. I´´ve never seen that before...
And, by the way, Brad Pitt lookes THAT great in that movie I almost can´t bear...
