Incredible Film

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2004)

Wolfgang Peterson has outdone himself. The sets, battle scenes, and CGI effects are flawless.
The shear enormity of the attack sequences leaves one awe-struck.
The superb acting by a fabulous cast captures the love of family, country, and immortality. Peter O'Toole is marvelous as a King who leaves the fate of his land to the gods, yet knowing that the final outcome is inevitable.
Brad Pitt should be commended on his physical ability coupled with his skill as an actor that puts him a cut above the typical movie action hero.

There is no need to have studied the legend of Troy to follow the story. There are no great plot twists other than one surprise that alters the destiny of one warrior and leaves Achilles wondering just what is it he's fighting for.
This is a film for everyone.
