Just pointing out that were you to watch it you would see a completely different story and one that was changed to keep the 'star' on film longer as it adds nothing to the story.

He was good in Munich as well.

Post by: Chalenge on January 26, 2009, 01:09:54 PM: The big guy didnt hold the shield correctly or high enough or Pitt couldnt have made that hit.

Post by: druski85 on January 27, 2009, 09:20:44 AM: I actually thought his little jump and stab you in the shoulder move was really, really lame. (and repetitive) Did you notice how confused he was later when Hector -- I don't know -- covered his shoulder with his shield?

Come on. Give me some good swordsmanship over this HOer any day of the week.

Also, I completely agree that Eric Bana did a great job with his character :rock
