Not the most Historically accurate but...

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2012)

Having seen Troy for a 3rd time now, i feel ready enough to write a review on it which is fair. Troy has an all star cast containing the likes of Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt so that already glistens it. The film was a good length with enough to keep you just about interested.
To begin, i thought that Hector, played by Eric Bana really held things together. His sense of leadership was brought right out in the film and you did become emotionally attached especially after his death in the fight against in my view, a not so noble and brave Achilles. I didn't like how he was portrayed at all to be quite honest. However, i did enjoy the fight scenes and the end as Troy burnt. The acting throughout was pretty solid and Orlando Bloom played the part of Paris perfectly in particular when he fought for Helen.
A short review here, but overall it was not one of the best releases of the year, but still an interesting one. Although though not historically accurate it packed a lot of action in and a decent space of time. A solid 7/10.
