Amazing Movie....Must See

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2005)

This film is wonderful....the setting and tone are perfect even if at times it can be a little predictable. the action is very good and has a nice authentic feel, much better than the dreariness of a similar genre movie like say "king author" which was everything this film avoided, e.g. wooden acting and lack of captivating plot. Troy is captivating in many senses as it realistically shows war as having heroes on both sides and in this case no clear bad guys.... of course there are bad guys in it but neither side is really portrayed as the goodies or the baddies which makes for an interesting spin on a war film. Watch this film asap if you haven't had the pleasure already, it really shows that films of the older type (Jason of the Arganourts and Clash of the Titens) really should be remade with the advanced CGI because a realistic film of the era works.
