Kingdom of Heaven revisited

As for Troy - I prefer to watch movies as themselves - I never watch them from the point of view "does it have good connectivity with written masterpiece or does not". So for me it doesn't matter that there are less then 66% of Homer in film - movie is movie and book is book.
I went to see Troy in cinema right after couple of hours of hard kendo training and I've been watching the movie beeing in kendo state of my mind. So battle sequences seemed to me very convincing... As for other aspects - I agree with Skybird - it is quite shallow but IMHO this comes from realistic approach to story-telling. I think the story of the real Troy is also quite shallow as any other real story is. Symbolism, characters, drama and so on appears afterwards - in hands of poet or artist. Real people just solve real issues of the day and there is nothing too deep in it (But maybe it is the deepest thing in itself who knows :hmm: ).

Best Regards!
