very good-especially eric bana as hector

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2004)

I thought Troy, although not a masterpiece was overall very good. However i think that Pitt could have played Achilles a little better instead of him ending up brooding every five minutes in his arrogance. I thought that Eric Bana was excellent as Hector, revealing a character that the audience could identify with. Although i'm an Orlando Bloom fan, he's already been there and done that with the bow and arrow which was a little bit tacky. I liked the score but at times the wailing voices were over the top, but it seemed to encapsulate the overall mood of the film. Overall i thought it was really good thought with Eric Bana's performance in particular standing out!
