Troy is well worth seeing!

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2004)

Whilst the subject matter of this film has been around for some time and read by academics and students alike, make no mistake, this isn't Homer word for word. Having said that, Troy does stand on its own and does tell a tale of heroes long passed into myth and legend. It's not important that parts of the story were changed or even missing. This is a movie after all. Go read the poem I say to purists and critics. Visually stunning and with scenery fit to match, who couldn't fall under the captivating spell that Wolfgang Peterson has wrought. I for one will be seeing it again.
