Superb acting

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2004)

First the bad: Troy didn't feel like 3 hours; it felt like it could have been longer. Orlando Bloom overacts at some points but that's to be expected.
On to the good and great: Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, and Rose Byrne all deserve at least Oscar noms. The fight scenes and the scenes between Achilles and Briseis are worth spending the money to see this alone! Diane Kruger is pretty good as Helen as is Saffron Burrows playing Andromache. Sean Bean as usual is perfect. You can believe he wise and no that he's doing what is best for his people (the Greeks).
The music is wonderful and power. "Remember" makes me want to cry everytime I listen to it.
