In short I liked it. It wasn't a overly deep film, it was the kind of movie fun I've been longing for for a long time.
I wasn't actually expecting to enjoy myself to much, but from the first disaster I was squirming in my seat, in a good way that is.
When we left the cinema we were gushing, I haven't had this much fun in the cinema in a long while. Now the big question is; would I have felt the same a few months ago? I honestly don't know, all I can say is if you liked "Independence Day" you'll probably enjoy this.
It was great to see Dennis Quaid in a good role, hope it gives him a boost.
Jake Gyllenhaal was adorable. Mom fell in love with him, I just think he's über-huggable.
Ian Holm was as good as always, he is a serious actor, but he did have a little humorous glimt in his eye in this film.

Troy
It was an ok movie, but I didn't get emotionally involved in what happened, there was one scene toward the end where I started caring a little, but that was to little to late.
The battle scenes have been compared with LOTR, saying they're good, but doesn't come near to LOTR. This is true, they're good, but can't compare to LOTR.
The acting was good, Orlando wasn't as sucky as expected.
Brad Pitt was good, but it was hard to let go of the fact that he's Brad Pitt. In my eyes he's better suited to play contemporary roles, not historic ones.
Eric Bana did good, he's a good actor, and is still at that stage where he gives it his all, without going over the top.
Sean Bean, as good as ever.
Brian Cox, the man I love to hate. Well, didn't really care until a point toward the end, but it's true; he really is a good psycho.
Of the main three females in this movie, it was Saffron Burrows that I liked the most.
It was nice to see Tyler Mane again, even though he didn't have much screen time.
Now the old squad, I don't really have a clue. I don't feel like writing anymore, they were good.
I'll have to admit that I agree with some of the reviews I've read. This is a good movie, with a lot of really good shoots and scenes, but it lacks the emotion. The point where I started caring was just because it hit a nerve, if that were not the case I doubt I would have gotten much out of it.
What gets me is that the guy who write the screenplay grew up with this story, and still they managed to turn in into a Hollywood thing.
