I went to see Troy yesterday (Saturday). It was a bit of a disappointment. I won't say anymore...yet.
As an Ancient History graduate and keen Homerophile I was both looking forward to it and dreading it.
Here was a chance to ignite a revival in interest in the immortal classics. Would a reinterpretation of Homer claim the post-Gladiator - Lord of the Rings fanbase?
Tell me if you are going to see it and (If you're interested) when you return I'll tell you where the movie departs from the commonly accepted myth and give a bit of my own persoanl views on the summer's most expensive epic.
