A damn good movie...

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2005)

Anyone who thinks making a movie of epic proportions while trying to keep control of the similarly-sized egos of the likes of Brad Pitt and Peter O'Toole doesn't know anything about movie making.
While Troy is not "Lawerence of Arabia," the acting, screenplay, effects, musical score, etc., are at least as good as those found in "The Ten Commandments," and I believe that the movie will have similar staying power, despite the lack of opportunity for continuous replay during various religious holidays.
It's a good watch, made even better now that widescreen and surround sound is becoming the standard of home viewing.
