Did anyone like Troy, or did everyone find it as boring, poorly acted, poorly directed and piss-poorly edited as I did?

This week I saw a two part mini series called Helen of Troy, and I liked that one better than the big budget film. I didn't think all of the acting was bad though, but I do feel that mostly all of the actors were misused. Heh, between those two movies hal

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The casting in Helen of Troy was almost all around better. I felt that the Helen they used in Helen of Troy had a great deal more natural beauty than the one they used in Troy (in other words, she was much more attractive). The shortcomings of Troy certainly did not have any redeeming points in its accuracy of the story, Helen of Troy I found to be QUITE a bit more accurate to how I always saw the story surrounding the Trojan war (keep in mind, I am far more familiar with the Roman/European literature than the Greek/Byzantine literature; Helen of Troy was obviously based mainly off of the Roman/European perspective): so those who greatly enjoy the classical myth will enjoy Helen of Troy more.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I thought Cox, O'Toole, Bana, and Pitt were all pretty good. Bean did a solid job too. Considering that's about 85% of the screen time, it means an overall of "pretty good"</div>
