Troy vs Kingdom of Heaven

[PolishHeadlock]

 

[Kevin Rudd]

Troy for me, because Orlando played himself in that movie.

I would have liked it to stick to the actual Illiad though. The lack of Diomedes made no sense.

 

[Loiosh]

Troy.

It's a tie, close the poll, close the poll!

 

[PUO3]

Anyone who picks Kingdom of Heaven should be set on fire.

 

[Fork]

kingdom of heaven (light your matches).

 

[KOQ24]

the non studio-butchered KOH directors cut.

better than braveheart
better than gladiator
certainly better than troy

Kingdom of heaven and pour gasoline on me. Troy is such a major disapointment and such a shit fest of a movie.

Here's a gif collection of the Achilles vs Hector fight I made a while ago: http://imgur.com/gallery/CgBFi

Orlando Bloom's character in Kingdom of Heaven was actually a lord and not a blacksmith, I believe. I don't think that change should have been made. The things he accomplished, despite being a career smith in a shitty village, were simply unrealistic.

 

[Magooglie]

Kingdom of Heaven though it gets negative points for Orlando Bloom and the blue balls non battle.

 

[PolishHeadlock]

Kingdom of Heaven for Neeson's short performance alone.

The only movie where Bloom is badass.

Norton kills it without even showing his face

Jeremy fucking Irons.

 

[Frode Falch]

Troy by far.

Orlando works much better as a pussy and a bad ass

 

[LucasWithLidOff]

Troy simply because I haven't been able to sit through the entirety of Kingdom of Heaven.

The director of Troy took the Illiad laid it on the ground, pissed on it, took a steaming dump on it and dropped his seed on it and then made a movie about it.

It took me three tries to get through that movie without falling asleep.

And I've made it through Gettysburg, all five and a half hours of it.

Have you actually read The Illiad?

It will be completely impossible to make a movie about it that is faithful to the text and not a steaming pile of crap.

Haha I love it. Just put it on.

I read it and it is a bitch to read but they did not even include the central characters.

No Diomedes = no bueno.

Every fibre of my being was screaming out to love that movie but it just wasn't meant to be.

Then make it a 3 parter or don't fucking make it at all. They shit all over it. Such a steaming pile of failure was Troy.

This is a lot tougher than I thought, but I'll go KOH via Ridley Scott. It's technically better and more appealing to the eye, despite being more boring. The cast does a great job. No terrible Pitt accent is always a plus for a movie, as well.
