armbWe went to the new Cineworld cinema in Cambridge to see Scooby Doo 2. After a short while we realized that The Cat In The Hat we were watching wasn't just a trailer, it was the start of the film. A very apologetic manager explained that they hadn't been able to get the Scooby Doo print, and the tickets and signs should have been changed, and of course we could have a refund and would we like to watch either The Cat In The Hat or any other film they were showing free? So we saw Troy. I thought it was a lot better than some of the reviews have suggested.
Some of the changes from the standard story seemed a bit arbitrary and unnecessary. Not having the gods directly involved I think is a reasonable decision, if want this to be the "real" story to which the gods were added as the story turned into legend. But there is no sense whatsoever that this is a ten year long seige - it appears to all be over in three days of fighting (and a 12 day break, not shown, for funeral games).
