    ★★

    The perfect review of Troy has already been written, so not much to add.

    Terrible movie, i love it.
    As a mythology nerd it hurts my bones: way too straight, strange casting choices, Eric Bana and Brad Pitt awoke something in me. Garrett Hedlund looked like a wax model of himself for some reason.
    Absolute guilty pleasure.

    ★★★★

    Incredible story with fantastic performances, can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this film before. Might end up reading a translation of the book, so I can truly recapture this feeling of hopeless misery 👍.
    Structurally it was a little strange but tbf the cyclical elements are somewhat integral to the story itself and the ordeal that Papi goes through?
    I’ve not seen Sons of Anarchy, but for me this is by far the best performance I’ve seen from Charlie Hunnam,…

    Honestly my boy Denis can do no wrong in my eyes, I just love what he’s putting down. Really loved the books and didn’t find them as heavy as I’d heard they were. With that said I had no idea how you’d adapt it to the Big Screen - I honestly don’t think you can make a more faithful adaptation than this :). Obviously there some parts which simply cannot be translated visually, which is a shame, but that didn’t…

    Decent watch, easy afternoon viewing - I’ve not read the book so no idea if it’s a faithful adaptation or not, but I’ll watch anything with Mads Mikkelsen tbh. Loads of Brits playing Americans even though they’re in space? Why was Nick Jonas in this and why was his coat so big?
