Summer Blockbuster??

Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2004)

Troy is good, but it lack of content. I thought I was gonna watch Troy as I watch the Lord of the Rings, but I was deeply disappointed. All I saw in that movie is Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom. This movie lack of 1.) content: the screenwriter choose to ignore the rest of the Troy history and related stories. 2.) Music, most of these kinds of films would have strong music to suit the movie, however, this one doesn't. So, what's this movie good about? The CG, of course. It's an undeniable fact. People behind this movie put a lot of time in the computer generating part, so we can see 1000 ships sailing on the sea and 50 thousand troops walking on the beach without having second doubt of its reality.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie even though in my mind, it's a 6 points movie. However, this movie is the talk of summer 2004. I bet most people would forget about this movie before 2010 except Brad and Orlando's fans. Maybe I am asking too much. But, I think if they can spend the money on hiring Pitt, Bloom, and other superstars, they should come up with a better story line than this one.
So... If you are Brad Pitt and/or Orlando Bloom's fans, PLEASE GO TO THAT MOVIE!!!!!!! It's GREAT... for you (even though Orlando Bloom suck a little bit in the movie).
ps: I think Eric Bana is GREAT in this movie!
