Outstanding picture...Wolfgang's best since Das Boot

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2006)

The photography in this movie is superb, with dozens of overhead, moving and long distance shots that truly paint a picture of Troy and Greece back in the glory days.
Brad Pitt shows his talent by switching off between a love-starved young man and the war-hungry Achilles.
The story is accurate yet involves a few extra twists. There is battles over love, rage, death, greed, power, and quest for fame.
This movie is not for the squeamish. Many scenes encompass the real horror of ancient battle. However, unlike other "action" or "war" movies, this flick really provides a great plot with several underlying stories for different characters on both sides.
