An Epic Movie of the Greeks!

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2011)

I really enjoyed Troy a lot. I seen so many bad reviews. People hate this movie because of accents. Really? You have to be kidding me. Today's society see no entertainment in movies anymore. Anyway, this is a great war movie from the Greek times. It's certainly better than Alexander which also came out in 2004.
This tells the story of the siege and fall of Troy and how two doomed lovers were the cause.
The acting is pretty good. Brian Cox and Eric Bana delivered gems and they carried the movie. Brad Pitt did a decent job but Bana and Cox overpower him with their acting performances.
The only disappointment for me was the score by James Horner. For an epic like this I expected a memorable score like Alexander. Too bad it wasn't. Well this is just a minor complaint.
Overall, this is a wonderful war movie. The effects are awesome especially how they show thousands of boats cross the sea. Two hours and forty minutes really go by fast. I rate this film 9/10.
