Quite nice but....

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2004)

This movie is about 164 minutes long. For any movie that is quite long enough, but for Troy it isn't. You never feel you get bored in the movie. It's a great movie, an adventure. You get drawn into it. However, i do have one reservation about it. But i will get to that later. Seeing a movie of this type, a historical movie is absolutely brilliant.
It has a wonderful story. The scenery is wonderful. Photography is awesome. Everything even the fighting is top class. I have mixed feelings about the cast. But a real and the biggest let down is the acting of almost everyone. For instance, Brad Pitt's acting was extremely shallow.
He wasn't convincing or believable at all. Just an arrogant fighter. That's all he was. If i think about it now, he wasn't suited for that role. Even some of the women. Hectors wife, Helen and the Kings weren't convincing. A pity. The only character who deserves the accolades for his role, was Hector. Brilliant.
So, that's my summary. Everything was great, except the acting.
