I'm sorry to say that I found Troy to be a disappointment. The comparison with Gladiator i inevitable and Troy always comes up short.
In Gladiator you feel the drama, the death of Maximus hits you inte the stomach. In Troy the characters doesn't affect you that way. Eric Bana and Brad Pitt look great and the fight sequences are really cool, but something is lacking. Could it be a good script or good direction..........
I also find it irritating that the music for Gladiator and Troy is so similar. (Got a NEW idea anyone????) Why not make an new movie for a change instead of the same movie over and over again. Hollywood is milking the cash-cow!
