Troy? Ohh Ya!

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2004)

Allow me to say that when I first heard director Wolfgang Peterson was attempting to recreate the Trojan war I was pleased. When I heard Brad Pitt would be staring in the lead role of the famous warrior Achilles, I was overjoyed. This film met every single expectation of mine, twice over! It was absolutely wonderful from start to finish and though the original story underwent minor changes, it was still accurate and beautifully rendered. The acting was superb and the complex and round characters were played perfectly by a fine group of actors. Given the chance to see it again, I would. This film will be sure to revive Eric Bana's career after that mistake we like to call "The Hulk" Both he and Brad Pitt did amazing jobs making their characters real and allowing the audience to feel connected. And for all of you Orlando Bloom fans out there, he did a fine job playing Paris! Do I recommend seeing Troy? Ohh Ya!
