I think your friend was right. I enjoyed Troy, and would watch it again.

LOL Skuzzy about my dinner with André

Two others in the same genre were Burnt by the Sun, and Buena Vista Social Club.

Burnt by the Sun is something to do with a Russian family in the run up to some military conflict - too bored to recall which one. In one sense, I didn't mind the fact that one scene was of the family having lunch - and it went on for 20 minutes. I sort of enjoyed the insight into Russian life. Otherwise, it was as boring as a movie about a family watching a football match. I saw it in New York, and at the end of the movie two women in the audience actually applauded - to let the rest of the audience know that *they* "got it" even if the rest of us hadn't. I'd have left those two standing at the curb.

Buena Vista Social Club was about a Cuban band (Ray Cooda?) but the scenes were so boring - showing a guy taking a minute to get into a car and then showing the car driving away until it was a little dot in the distance...

Not the greatest movie ever, but it was a pretty good story, good action sequences, wtf?

Read the book, and you will see why a lot of people were disappointed with the film.

No chit! What that is doing on a bad movie list is beyond me!

You want bad try...

action = "Con Air"
comedy = "The Three Amigos"
drama = all of them

I can forgive "Pearl Harbour" For crap script and the ridiculous Idea that the RAF were based on the Lawn of some stately pile.

Because the Air plane stuff looked great and most importantly

To each his/her own I guess, me and our party walked out after about 15 minutes with an acute pain in our intelligence

I didn't try to kill the inviso guy, I didn't see him there. The bullets were aimed at those three idiots in the sombreros!

Never read it, but let me guess.. it didn't follow the story exactly? Or maybe the book was really good. Either way that is irrelevent to the quality of the movie.

If I can put up with Elves in Helms Deep you can overlook Mel storming the NVA camp.

red bottom... read the thread... I was "conned" by an add for the movie. My girfriend had no more idea about it than I did. She didn't like it much either.

The movie was overhyped and dishonestly marketed. I heard one reviewer say it was the best guy-movie of all times, even better than swingers. Considering the general volume of meaningless movies out there I'll say the Sideways was not THAT bad, but it certainly wasn't a guy movie or even anything special in any way. It was in theaters when the "Sky Captain" crap was out, that can make anything look good by comparison!

Wait until it hits the $0.99 shelves and rent it.

When I started reading the book I've read it from beginning to the end in one time and one night...

In the theater 30 min after the beginning I was looking at my clock ...

My mistake was to read the book 1st.
