Holy bad accent Batman!

While lying around on Sunday afternoon in my non-functional state (I’m having major issues sleeping right now and therefore not getting much more than 3-4 hours a day) I finally broke down and watched Troy. All in all, I really enjoyed the film and the cast, with the exception of The Brad.

The Good
Eric Bana owned this film. Owned it I tell you. His character was wonderful and he was just utterly fantastic. Every moment he was on screen, I was in heaven and I was very indifferent to him before watching this film. Now, I kind of want to bear his children. ;)

The Bad
Brad’s accent. It came. It went. It just kind of sucked. Brad’s golden wavy locks and bronzed chiseled body glistening in the sun and/or moonlight throughout the entire film also made me unhappy and roll my eyes a few times. It’s no secret that I’m not a fan and haven’t been since about 1996 or so and I know it’s strange that I find him repulsive, but I do and there was just too much glistening Brad for my liking.

The Randomness
Diane Kruger should really think about gaining that 10-15 pounds or whatever she had to gain for the film back because she looked 1000 times better with a little more flesh on her face and a teensy bit of meat on her arms.

I never noticed how incredibly long and thin Saffron Burrows neck is. It’s really rather swan-like, but I can’t decide if that’s a good or bad thing or maybe just a little odd.

Orlando Bloom was very meh. His character is such a weenie that it was hard to be all about the Orlando.

Sean Bean was nothing less than awesome.
