Hell, if G & BH(& Unforgiven, FTM) got all the Oscars they did, what are they going to do for Troy, give it a super-Oscar?
I was surprised how much I liked T. I thought it came close to LOTR; excellent cast & source material. Miles better than G or BH. The special effects/CGI battles were much better in LOTR, of course, but Pitt & Bana did very good jobs in the action sequences.
One of the main things I liked about it was that there were no "wink-winks" to modern audiences; e.g. "Make my day" type lines. Even LOTR fell down a bit in this regard.
Anyway, check it out. If the rest of the year's movies suck as bad as most have so far(save for Eternal Sunshine), T should get some Oscars, esp. Brian Cox(the original, & best, Hannibal Lecter) for Supp Actor as Agememnon.
