Date: May 15th, 2026 9:20 AM Author: kink-friendly persian gunner The action was good. Disappointing for such an important film at the time.

Date: May 15th, 2026 9:32 AM Author: Ebony concupiscible menage chad It wasn't exactly supposed to be a summer blockbuster. It had an R rating after all. I liked it at the time and said so to many people. Good action movie with tits and it has an awesome historical backdrop. How did it disappoint again?

Date: May 15th, 2026 9:44 AM Author: kink-friendly persian gunner I haven't watched it in years so I cannot tell you why I was disappointed specifically, but I do recall being disappointed, and my experience wasn't unique and is reflected in the reviews at the time.

Date: May 15th, 2026 10:00 AM Author: Ebony concupiscible menage chad Bloom is an annoying bitch but I think that's his part and it's juxtaposed against Pitt, who is this super alpha.
I've probably watched Troy more than anyone on the bort. I even let my kids watch it. |

Date: May 15th, 2026 10:09 AM Author: Ebony concupiscible menage chad Getting the part meant getting to watch Brad Pitt on set with his own eyes, which is a sight that left Cox gobsmacked. As the actor recalled, “I remember at one point being agog at Brad. He’d never been in costumes like that… Brad walked on set and my jaw was down because he was so stunningly beautiful. I’m straight but I thought, ‘Wow, my God! This guy is stunning.’ What chance does one have on the screen against this beautiful, beautiful man?”
Pitt did a shitload of steroids for the part |

there is now an entire cultural habit of saying of "weren't things great back then" if even something was objectively utter horseshit. the shit didn't smell better, it was just different colored shit. |

Date: May 15th, 2026 10:06 AM Author: kink-friendly persian gunner You're not going to gaslight me into thinking media is just as good today as it was before. You'd agree that media changes, right? Which inherently means the quality changes, which is subjective.
*I* think Troy is better relative to the average movie released today, and I think is was worse relative the average movie released at the time. This isn't nostalgiaslop, it's me just not liking most shit released today. |

Date: May 15th, 2026 10:10 AM Author: Doobsian location genital piercing there were a lot of shitty movies released back then and troy is one of them. it's like holding up transformers as some great paragon of the past
there were more *good* movies released 20 years ago, but that doesn't make the shitty ones any less shitty. |

Date: May 15th, 2026 10:14 AM Author: kink-friendly persian gunner Yes it does, because whether something is "good" or "shit" is an opinion on it's quality relative to everything else. It was shit at the time but it's good relative to 2026 slop. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5866599&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310744#49885754) |

Date: May 15th, 2026 9:24 AM Author: Ebony concupiscible menage chad I think it's being appreciated. It's a great mix of action with the spectacle of those old Hollywood epics. Brad Pitt on literal steroids and naked no less. An amazing cast. Brian Cox, Orlando Bloom and hot chicks with an R rating.
I tried to rewatch the Alexander movie about a year ago and it was garbage.
Don't get me started on John Carter. |
