Epic? Sure...

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2004)

As it has been said, "Troy" has a lot in common with "Lord of The Rings". Specially, that in the screen they are completely different than what you read. In LOTR, you'll cry if you read the movie and the books.
If you have read "The Iliad", you would find unexplainable why some characters appears as "good" or "bad" or just martyrs. It has some weird camera approaches, but a great sound and effects.
There also some 'fun facts' of ancient Greek civilization being exposed, but people basically won't understand some customs and also it has a quick untie.
Nevertheless, both LOTR and Troy are great approaches to epic stories, and are fun and entertaining. It's great to see at the cinema.
