Cool Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2004)

Unlike Van Helsing which was pointless and not a lot of fun. Troy on the other hand, I found it more superb. Not since Gladitor has there been a grand epic of action, realistic battle sequences and honor for these characters. Brad Pitt heads the all star cast as Achilles, a warrior that can never be stopped. The whole summary of the film is that Paris(played by Orlando Bloom) has had a secret affair with Helen(played by new comer Diane Kruger)that her King Menelaus played by Brendan Gleeson doesn't know about and during the sail to Troy, Paris's older brother Hector(played by Eric Bana) must protect his brother. With Menelaus in a rage, he tells the Greek King Agamemnon played by Brian Cox to sail to Troy and start a war. This movie is about honor and the cost of love.
I would recommend this movie to any movie fan or to anybody who enjoyed classic epics from the Kirk Douglas film Spartacus, to Mel Gibson's Braveheart or Russell Crowe's Gladiator.
