Aris reviews "Troy"...

... and does an excellent job of it. The only thing I could add would be, "Pretty. They're too pretty..."

That was a superb commentary on the film, Aris.

I think the made-up Thessaly introduction served two combined purposes.

1) It depicted Achilles' extraordinary fighting ability right away. The film had to do this somehow, since he sits out of the fighting during the first part of the story.

2) It provided circumstances for Paris' visit to Helen's family.

I thought it was a good movie. Film-makers always change the original stories. The sword fights were great.
