Heh. A couple of movie reviews.

Troy: To put it simply, it's like watching lord of the rings again.

Scene where greeks charge to wall: Hmmm....should be ogres?
Paris: *Watches him shoot* EI? Legolas? *Imagines Orlando BLoom's resume*

Name: Orlando Bloom

Was Legolas in Lord of the rings

"YOUR HIRED!"

Ahem. Anyway, that's not to take anything away from Troy. The effects were still great, there was actually an ongoing storyline, and there was enough action. I do, however, have a few grips with the movie. Firstly, Paris gets to live. How can something like that happen? Paris is the most weak, cowardly hero ever. Secondly, There were too many half-nude scenes of Brad Pitt etc. It's almost as if the producers were banking on Brad Pitt to pull female audiences. There should be more love scenes/ fights. I still don't know why Achilles likes the priest girl so much. Thirdly, the storyline was a comedy told in a tragic manner. I won't give away too much to those who haven't watched it yet:)

Shrek 2: Great movie. Love the animation and the characters. Somewhat cliched, but still funny. bit too short tho. There's not really much to say here cos the movie dosent exactly have alot of depth. Just watch it and laugh.
