What happened?

Rating: 1/10 (29 October 2004)

This film had everything - a great director, a great cast, a great story and a great budget. So what on earth happened?
Having missed the film on its short run, I have just watched the DVD. It was a hell of an effort.
The dialogue was hysterical, the music was painful, the actors were wooden or unbelievably hammy and the story, having survived for 3000 years, had been turned into a TV soap opera.
Afterwards I switched on the computer to read IMDb reviewer's comments. I came across a couple of critiques nominating this film as "the Best Film of 2004". Surely the writers were being tongue-in-cheek because if Troy really is their idea of a great film, I feel sorry for them - they are far too easily pleased.
This was one of the biggest wastes of talent I have ever seen 0/10
