Have I seen this movie before?

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2004)

If you have seen the films "Braveheart" and "Gladiator," then you have basically seen the movie "Troy."
There is a hugely popular actor playing the 'not so nice' protagonist. There are beautiful women playing support roles and getting into varying degrees of mischief. There are brutal battle scenes involving thousands of computer animated warriors. There are chilling speeches given by the leaders to men they know will die. And there is a sad Hollywood ending which betrays the real story.
If you find these types of movies entertaining then this movie is definitely for you. "Troy" benchmarks all the great ideas from the two similar scripts and even builds on these ideas with its huge budget and technological advances.
