Great action but not honorable

Rating: 6/10 (24 March 2010)

Troy,an adaptation of Homer's great epic,will leave you disappointed after the movie is finished.When the movie begins you see some great action & fighting scenes.But as soon as the movie moves forward the emphatic sword fighting scenes begin to disappear.More of drama creeps in.What i feel that there should be a balance between action & drama.But Troy was lacking with the balancing part.Some scenes like the fighting of Brad Pitt(the first scene) as well as when Spartans enter Troy are fascinating.Tremendous sword fighting stuff.Brad Pitt perfectly looked Achilles.Eric Bana also gave a fabulous effort.Orlando Bloom well,a a little subdued kind of role but still it was quite good in the context of the movie.Rest of the star-cast is also quite good.But the balancing part was a miss.In the middle there are more fighting scenes instead when it should be in the end.The ending also largely spoils the whole movie.Not in the league of 300 neither of Kingdom of Heaven.But a one time watch for some great fight scenes for sure.
