Troy = cinematic, amazing fight scenes, and great storytelling.

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2004)

Spoilers:
I wasn't expecting anything from this movie, I actually thought it was going to be bad. But it surprised me.
I'm the guy who likes non-hollywood movies. Some of my favorite films are Apocalypse Now, 2001: a Space Odyssey, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, A Clockwork Orange, The Godfather, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, American Beauty, On the Waterfront, Amores Perros, Pi, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Taxi Driver, etc.
BUT I DID LIKE THIS MOVIE(sometimes big hollywood movies are good- like Saving Private Ryan) Although this movie might not be accurate according to Homer, it is very well done.
Highlights: Achilles being really `badarse', the imagery, the amazing fight scenes(which are about half of the movie), and the way the whole thing was presented.
My only complaints are: that the score wasn't anything special, all of the actresses were pretty weak, Orlando Bloom acting was weak, and even though Brad Pitt was very good in it, I thought he could have done better(after his performances in Snatch, 12 Monkeys, & Fight Club).
Even with my plethora of complaints, Troy surprised me, and I really enjoyed it. It is a great epic, and it was really awesome to see this time period depicted in film.
