The Bloody Blank

I *think* I watched this....probably not that closely; it's a good movie not to watch too closely.

It's not so terrible, but it's one of those ones not to take too seriously.

Legolas is a pretty boy, Brad Pitt punches people....

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

.....

But, then, maybe I'm being too generous. This isn't just a mediocre movie, like "Jurassic Park"; this is a suck-y movie, like "Gladiator".

I mean, I remember that one of my friends who saw it thought that it trivialized the whole thing--"It made it sound like the Trojan War happened in three days!"-- although I almost didn't want to mention that, since I don't exactly want it to be longer.

I mean, Brad Pitt is Achilles and Boromir is Odysseus? Really?
