Fantastic!
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
I don't know why the IMDb rating is 7.2. It definitely should have been more. An amazing movie with top notch performances by Brad Pitt and Eric Bana. Best movie in this genre i have ever seen.
Wolfgang Peterson's Troy is a great period war film with the plot that concerns the Trojan War and takes place in a matter of days(or weeks as opposed to the 10 year timeline of the historical event). Featuring a host of stars like Brad Pitt, Peter O Toole, Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom the film is an epic with some neat battle sequences. Among the performers Eric Bana shines the brightest though it is Pitt's Achilles who commands the screen. If you like historical epics then Troy by Wolfgang Peterson is right up your alley.
Troy is about battle between two kings in the battle in troy staring brad pitt it is a great movie to watch
Having read The Iliad, it is clear that Troy wanted to capture that epic tale and bring it to life on screen. And they sure did try, but did not succeed.The camera-work was amateur in many scenes. The settings were gorgeous. Brad Pitt's portrayal of Achilles as a whiny, entitled warrior was actually quite spot-on with the original source material, despite being abhorred by many audiences.The magic was missing here. The presence of the gods on the battlefield was absent, some of the most fascinating characters, like Diomedes, were cut entirely. Overall, the film could have benefited from much more subtlety in the writing. Too many times did characters give paragraphs of exposition as if it were normal conversation. (See Hector and Paris in the first 15 minutes)Overall, it's watchable. You'll be entertained and you'll end up liking this movie. But you won't LOVE it.
