Good movie, bad story.

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2004)

What can i say about troy? The action and battle scenes are one of the best we have seen so far, but i think that they could have made a little better the narration, and the story. Everybody knows it's based on the Illiad, but that epopey it's an old one, then we are not accustomed to that heavy and unbelievable "love" story. They could have adapted the film to an actual way of thinking, in other words, that war should have been caused, not by a simple love story, but by other causes, like any murder or something related to economy, ando not only the feelings about conquering the whole mediterranean.
I don't like so much the acting of Brad Pitt, and neither of all those close ups of his "beautiful and whity" face. I would have liked another actor, more rude, and not so well shaved according to the epoch. The exception is Eric Bana, who can control an army and has a real good looking, and a pair of muscle tits (bigger than some actresses). In the making of, the director says that the fighting were made by themselves, but there isn't nothing new under the sun, because actually everybody make that (Uma thurman, Keanu reeves...)but that is contraposed by the amazing special visual effects.
In conclusion go to see troy because you'll have a very entertaining time, but don't hope it to be the best movie in history. 7.5/10
