So I finally watched Troy

Yeah that would've been a better movie.
It was better than I thought though, except that they made Paris a little bit smarter, especially when he went "We should burn it" about the horse. Odysseus is awesome. Brad Pitt was pretty awesome as Achilles, at the very least very awesome looking =O~~~ I liked the relationship between him and Brisieus, although she wasn't the cousin of Paris and Hector, she was the daughter of Apollo's priest.
I wanted to slap Helen as much as I wanted to slap Gueneviere in Mists of Avalon but I loved Hector's wife. In fact, Hector's wife and Brisieus pretty much rocked as female roles in the movie. Helen of course is just eye candy.
Hector is cool. Odysseus is cool. Achilles is hawt. Priam is really cool even when he messes up and destorys his own city. I was cheering when Evil King of Mass Ego was killed, very satisfying considering I hated the fact that he was alive in the actual myth until his wife killed him. Either way, he dies. XD
Now to watch the extra stuff!
