Wow! Troy's bitrate only 3.3Mbps in some sections (pics)

On the flip side, the entire fight sequence outside the walls of Troy was outstanding - and the bitrate meter read in the mid-20's!!

I posted these comments in my review of the movie as well.

Whaddaya know ? There may actually be a few people who saw
"Troy" the way I saw it; uneven, even disappointing PQ. How come a seemingly vast majority folks thought this was a great transfer of an long movie (and with lossless audio) indicative and "proof" (?) of why 30G/30Mbps is "good enough" ? And the reviewers rate this 4/4.5 out of 5 or 9/10 (or I'm reading the wrong reviews) ? Is this movie really that good compared to most other movies ?
