It is perfect...

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2009)

Seriously, so many blind and ignorant people give it a small score, wen it is one of the most well made, and beautiful movies ever made. This movie is right up there, next to Gladiator. Its entertaining, epic, and over all 10/10. The duel between Achilles and Hector is a thrilling, emotionally charged highlight.
Sure, the gods are missing, and the dialogue is somewhat lacking. Yet, the film still is tremendously entertaining thanks to the performances of Bana and O'Toole. As for Pitt, he looks the part of Achilles, but he's no Russell Crowe when it comes to acting.
Bloom correctly plays Paris as a coward, and Brian Cox is a wonderful "villain" as always. However, the best thing about "Troy" is that it doesn't really take sides ... maybe it sympathizes with Troy more than with Greece, but it also focuses on the Greeks and their greatest warrior, Achilles. By the film's conclusion, we feel as if everyone has lost the battle, and that's a refreshing change for a war film.
In the end... Don't believe the negative reviews. This movie is well done.
