A really entertaining -AND educating- film!

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2011)

I've watched "Troy" again and again and I never get bored. It excites you from the first moment to the last. I believe that all of the actors were superb in every way and they gave their best shot being the heroes in the movie. As always I hardly understand the critics and their way of thinking and to be honest I don't care what other people think of a movie -critics or not. A movie is art, as is a book or a painting and art is always subjective regarding beauty, quality, entertainment etc. Probably there are some different points of view regarding what Homer has mentioned in his Iliad epic poem and what was actually seen in the movie, but that was the director's point of view and despite all, the key conclusion of the poem remains the same. And as other people mentioned here, I really liked the realism in the movie, without any actual presence of Gods. Achilles was like a semi-god in a very human, realistic way. "Troy" is another example not to blindly listen to any specific critics of supposedly movie experts (and how can an expert of any kind of art really advise me what I should like and what I shouldn't like?!?), so give it a chance -at least!
