I felt this move was mediocre but underrated.

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2017)

I recently had watched Troy on DVD at my house and I felt that the movie was underrated but still had a lot of issues. First of all the way Dir. Wolfgang Peterson told the story wasn't very effective. They told it from the point of view of the Trojans as well as from the Greeks which made the audience not care for another character over another because their wasn't any real protagonist. This was the my main issue because it derived the story of all emotion and suspense. Another one of my issues was with the Trojan horse. Out of nowhere, the horse enters Troy, this was semi effective until the final battle. The whole time I was expecting for them to come out of the horse and destroy Troy. This was the one suspenseful moment but it was sadly ruined because they just wait until night to come out of the horse. The battle was meant to show the destruction of the Great city of Troy but we didn't have any connection to Troy because we didn't have a protagonist or antagonist. In general, the story was extremely bland with a significant amount of dialogue. In my opinion, the movie is semi entertaining but if you are looking for a war movie with a good story I recommend "Dunkirk."
