An excellent 3 hours spent!

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2004)

I didn't know what to expect from Troy as I didn't know much about the story but after seeing the film I was very impressed.
I loved the story and the love stories. I thought that Brad Pitt was actually very good, although I didn't know whether to like Achilles or hate him, it was a love hate relationship for me throughout with this character. I loved his relationship with Briseis and I thought Rose Byrne was absolutely fantastic in it, she is a very good actress. Peter O'Toole and Sean Bean were also very good.
My favourite person has to be Eric Bana in this, his portrayal of Hector was nothing short of amazing, I believed every word and he was just a joy to watch, he stole the show for me.
I thought Orlando Bloom was the only terrible thing in this film, this part just wasn't him, usually I like him but after seeing this I have realized that he plays his parts the same in every film. He just didn't portray Paris as this prince that Helen would run off with and their relationship wasn't very convincing. Diane Kruger was OK as Helen but didn't do nearly as well as Rose byrne.
The fight scenes were amazing and I just enjoyed watching every minute of it, I will definitely be seeing this again. 10/10 I give this, a master piece, Eric Bana deserves an Oscar.
