A great, great film in every aspect

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2008)

No matter what version it is, i.e. the theatrical or directors cut Troy is still simply awe-inspiring and flawless. From the acting through to direction, this film doesn't slip up at any stage in the film. All the cast are fully descriptive and emotionally filled leaving the audiences with a gasp of greatness. For with every new scene comes a greater and more defining perspective of what homers Illiad was meant to look and sound like. Wolfgang Peterson (the Posiedon) has embellished the film with a new brilliance, one which i haven't seen in a long time in any film. The cast add value and give gifted life to all their characters, without leaving or forgetting anyone involved. The action sequences are somewhat majestic and moving, as is the poetic and resoundingly perfect score by James Horner.
The screenplay and script are relentlessly shed. The choreography is set to stand time. But what audiences are left with is, a compelling, visually, acted and directed knockout of a phenomenon.
