Well, I've stopped expecting historical accuracies in films. All it does (for me) is lower the experience of the film, since you can't stop criticising it (well, some you can. ) and I personally thoroughly enjoyed Troy, no matter how inaccurate it was. I think you have to see it as entertainment, and not a historical documentary. I myself know very little about the legends (or myths [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) about King Arthur, other than Merlin was a character, that Arthur formed the Knights of the Round Table (even that could be wrong) and that Arthur wielded a sword called "Excalibur" "thrown at him by some watery tart"...I mean, given to him by a mythical creature. (Sorry, couldn't resist the quote. ).

As such, from what I've seen, it looks to be an awesome film. ^_^
