a masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2004)

Troy was an excellent movie, with a stirring score that put me in the right frame of mind for the movie in an instant. James Horner is brilliant and doesn't disappoint here. I cannot wait to buy the soundtrack. For the first half of the movie, I was in hysterical laughter. The script they wrote! The lines, the melodrama, the incredible farse on real emotion! However, when people started dying inevitably, since it is a war film, I started crying. I thought that Brad Pitt's acting was better than expected, and the talent I was most impressed with actually was that of Eric Bana, playing Hector, and Rose Byrnes, playing Brisaeus. I was surprised because I had not heard of either of them but they definitely made the movie as far as acting goes.
