Superb technically and contentwise...

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2004)

As I walked into the movie cinema, I had my cautions about this film. I'd heard that there were some really lousy lines and that the acting was cheesy and that Brad Pitt was the film. I was told only to see it if I wanted to see Brad Pitt's iron hard abs and pecks and then a cheek or two of his.
I would just like to say that they were wrong. I was completely enthralled by this film. It moves at a rapid pace and I never wanted it to end. Whoever said that the writing was bad is on crack because the screenwriter did a marvelous job. You, or at least I felt for each character.
SPOILER!!!!!!
When Erica Bana's genius Hector died I cried. I loved him so much and I don't think I've ever been as mad as I was at the time at Brad Pitt. I guess it's just the power or vengeance.
SPOILERS ARE OVER!!!!
Even from the first opening scene where we are introduced to Brian Cox's character, Aganemnon, the film was visually stunning. The camera work was brilliant and so was the direction, dialogue, and editing.
Before I see a movie I like to buy a large soda, specifically Coka Cola. I like staying until the credits finishes rolling, but sometimes my blatter doens't permit me. I don't think I've ever had to relieve myself as badly as I did when Troy concluded. However, I was so engrossed by the piece of art I'd just witnessed that I stayed in my seat depsite the burning sensation in my bladder. That's how amazing this film is. That's how much this film effected me. That's how great this film is. I hope to see it go down as a classic movie. Wolfgang Peterson does it again. He stuns us.
SIX OUT OF FOUR BONES.
