Troy – The Director’s Cut [REVIEW]

The Trojan Wars have been one of the most prolific stories through the ages. Despite ongoing debate whether or not this war really happened (our only real sources being Homer’s poems), there is no doubt it left its mark in history. As such this has been a favorite subject for Hollywood to exploit. There have been several adaptations of Homer’s work done in the past 20 years with mixed results. Perhaps the most well-known is 2004’s epic Troy, a movie that has largely been forgotten by the public despite the star power involved.

Then, one day it actually happened. Well, it was a sit-through, but not in a good way.

Spartacus vs Spartacus: The Film vs The Series

The story of Spartacus and his gladiator/slave rebellion (more formally known as the Third Servile War) has captivated people throughout history.

Directed by none other than Stanley Kubrick, it was released with a somewhat politically charged undertone as it was released at the height of

ght just be the worst. Now as in “worst” it’s not in terms of the story – it’s not reliant on shock value as the second season was. This season instead chooses to up the ante by betraying its own message for the sake of wasting everybody’s time by trying to redeeming an unredeemable character, along with presenting the worst 3rd person protagonist ever introduced.
