**Disclaimer: This is one of my favorite movies.
This movie holds up through multiple viewings. It's one of a very few (recent movies) concerning the Crusades, which is an interesting era of history. It was a nice balance of both sides of the conflict.

Trilogy that was EPIC
My favortie set of book from the Hobbit to Return of the King. The acting in amazing, the story follows the books from start to finish. Not for young kids ofcourse but it's better if read all of the book before seeing the movies. Orlando Bloom was the best in the movies in my opinion

At first, I wasn't sold on Brad Pitt as Achilles. But, after watching this film a few times, I think he really worked. Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom did well as Hector and Paris. Of course the film took liberties with the story, but, what film doesn't? The fight scenes were excellent.
I'm still waiting for the Odyssey, featuring Sean Bean as Odysseus to be made...

Based upon the ride at Disneyworld/Disneyland, Pirates of the Caribbean is a fun film. The action is good, and I love the combination of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. The story was well put together. Disney definitely tried to recreate the magic with the further POTC films, and other films based upon rides.
This film definitely made pirates popular to the extreme, which was alright with me.

Following the success of "Gladiator" in 2000, I was expecting Hollywood to resurrect the old sword and sandals movies of yore, and for their to be a glut of the same.
At the time of writing this review (2020), there was actually surprisingly few such films: of the top of my head, I can only really think of "Robin Hood", "Kingdom of Heaven", and this.
With quite a few big names in its cast - Brad Pitt, Sean Bean, Orlando Bloom, Peter O'Toole and Eric Bana to name a few - this retells the story of the siege of Troy (although said siege doesn't seem to last as long as originally told), following Paris (Orlando Bloom) elopement with the wife of Menelaus of Troy (Brendan Gleeson) Helen (Diane Kruger), giving an excuse for Agememnon (a scenery chewing Brian Cox) to go to war against that city.
While this does have some bruising action scenes - the beach landing, and Achilles Vs Hector are my personal favourite - unfortunately large swathes of the film are bogged down by necessary exposition, and I have to say that the face of this version of Helen of Sparta (or Troy) may not be able to launch the fleet of a thousand ships that she is described as in the original texts (where she is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world).

Why Rum Gone
Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) plays our beloved pirate to love and hate in this adaption of a Disney ride. The movie from the word go is filled with action,comedy and suspense as we follow our captain take possession of a powerful boat with the help of Orlando bloom and try to rescue our damsel in distress Nightly and recover the last gold coin of a lost treasure to try and break and long time curse. This movie storyline took time and patience to make sure everything flowed right and it does. To me there is not a moment of down time and my favorite line when marooned on an island is "Why Rum Gone" Enjoy

Some good plot twists
From looking at the poster and trailer, I wasn't sure whether Carnival Row would be 'up my street'. However, after the first episode I was gripped. One of the main things I look out for in any TV show or film is the sincerity of the acting. Cara Delevigne shone for me. I was pleasantly surprised by her as I have only known her as a model. Orlando Bloom also showed great talent, as always. If you like crime and fantasy, this is the perfect blend of both worlds, and I would highly recommend giving it a go. It deserves all the praise it has received. I am very much looking forward to the second season.
