Average movie with some flaws

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2004)

I've seen Troy on this Friday and have to admit that it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen. From the historical point of view the movie had some flaws. Particularly the direction from where the sun rised when the Greek army was at Troy was very disappointing. On the movie the sun rised above the sea but it should be above the land since Troy is at the east coast of Aegean sea. I was confused if they were still at Greece or they've been to Troy:) The landscapes are also not as of the actual Troy. From the point of camera technique and acting, some short cut, slow motion scenes were really irritating and unnecessary. The performance of the actors was average but really sufficient since the movie was not focused so much on characters. However if you like to see some familiar scenes from ancient Greek mythology and some action with nice costumes and really nice backgrounds I would suggest tis movie without hesitating.
