300,Troy,LOTR,Beouwolf,Alexander...Which you like best?

Same as mine, cool. But yes, I agre on your answer even though we're the same. My basis though is in overall impact to me personally. Sure one or the other is better or least in some aspect of the whole movie, LOTR is a bit dragging but good concept, 300 so gory but good effects, troy good action scenes and I liked the music :P

With regards to LOTR, I find the three 3 movies Ok. But I was a bit depressed after watching the 2nd installment. I mean, I felt there was something emotionally bothering with the TWO TOWERS. This particular installment really left me hanging. But then, it was like justified with the last installment. 300 was ok. I like the fight scenes and the ABS (--this is a private joke among friends). But really, at first, I thought it was some typical epic-action film, but after watching it, I was awed. :P Troy -- aside from the Eric Bana, Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom factors, basically, I was just fascinated with the story.

Yes I would have to agree with you. I didn't like the 2nd installment either. It's like it was placed there because the movie series would end with just a sequel. Now in hollywood that means a great deal of loss in potential profit. But in this case,they did that even if the viewers' expectations were a bit short and hanging. The 300 movie, I think that some of the actors are a bit musculine prior to the movie shoot. But for those that need to be buffed, a rigorous muscle toning training was done, mostly for abs I guess. That's great though for us guys, a nice abs can do alot-physical appearance anyway. Troy relied more on old fashioned Hollywood war epic formula, so not much special effects here unlike LOTR and 300. They just placed bankable and gorgeously hot actors to play the lead roles: Brad Pitt,Diane Kreuger,Orlando Bloom,Eric Bana. The veterans are there to give the movie a "respectable" stance, as the war is based on two opposing superpowers of ancient times. But the story revolves around as a love story actually. Why so? Because there's Helen and Paris, Hector and his wife,Achilles and Priam's daughter affair. It wasn't clear if Achilles was hit because of him finding and protecting Priam's daughter or otherwise. Well it worked somehow, it's like the greatest love epic" sort of.

Ok thanks for your reply. Although, I would have to ask you is it in that order of being the best to the least favorite movie: LOTR,Troy,300,Alexander,Beouwolf? I did ask at the beginning of the discussion to place them in order. So, is it in that order would you like them movies be placed?

Ok thanks for the followup reply. At least we got it clear. So it's Alexander at fifth place for you. I can relate to your disappointment in regards to Alexander, I mean the story is good, but the delivery is so slow paced that it becomes lagging at times. But imho, if it could have beemn done like 300 or Troy, then it could have been a great movie as well. This one I think, really followed most of historical events. Sad to say that if Hollywood would not intervene just like 300, the plot is a bit stale.

In order: 1. LOTR 2. 300 3. Troy 4. Beouwolf 5. Alexander

Yes it's really hard to pick from the list because true they are all great movies and yes unique in each aspect. I kinda thought of it that way too when I started this discussion but would probably take up a lot of aspects to consider so that's why I generalized it to overall best in everything. Thanks for your reply. Hope you don't mind me requesting to be your friend. Thanks again.

LOL! Yes I would have to agree with you aleale, that Leonidas's wife is a really hot woman. Not that there was a love scene shown in the movie. Ok so it's 300 for you. But how about the other four movies? Which is second .....fifth? You're response would be considered incomplete.

Well that's Hollywood. Got to admire their "creativity" though of putting a not so glorious historical event into a spectacular display of blood, gore, physical prowness, great effects, etc. Although, troy and 300 are based on legends also, I think. I mean yes there maybe an Achilles, Paris, Helen or Leonidas in Greek history, but was there a trojan horse really and I believe the trojan war lasted for many years or are there really only 300 men who fought against the whole Persian army? Imho, if Hollywood will be true to the text then would they (movies) be blockbuster success? Aside from Beowulf of course. But not all, like what happened to the Da Vinci Code right, bestseller book but the movie...well. Anyway, thanks for your reply on this topic. Merry Christmas to you.

Thanks for your reply. Btw, OT:curious about your name RowenaTheWitch. Can I ask why or is there a connection with your personality, or a character in a game you've played? Thanks again. Merry Christmas to you.
