Give it a second chance.

Rating: 8/10 (27 September 2007)

Riding on the coattails of gladiator. Troy didn't seem to gather the approval the latter achieved. Why? Beats me. This movies sword usage was flat out insane far better than 300's and Gladiator's combined. Brad Pitt truly rocked as well as Bana. Although well boring at times. The thrills are unmatched. Achilles taking of the temple of Apollo single handedly was awesome and the Hector/Achilles duel was unnerving, tiring(physically), and sad. It only seemed at the end of the movie it lost some steam. I wouldn't bash this movie just because the bandwagon says to. This movie was done as if it happened. I they filmed it the way the illiad was written it may have seemed to fantastic. The realistic way it was portrayed was very visceral. If your looking for feeling or a revenge flick then you wont enjoy it. If you looking for an adrenaline rush the check this sure to be cult classic out.
