Troy: Greek history for stupids

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2005)

Well, the title says it all. I can write it down quite easy. If you have any Greek historical background, you think this movie sucks. Because it is on big fat lie they are telling you. If you haven't got any Greek historical background, you think this movie sucks anyway. Because the way Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot) makes this Hollywood-crap is unbelievable. The audience have seen enough mass-fights last decade. It is just simply not overwhelming anymore. And let that aspect just be the only one that's 'good' in this movie. The acting sucks badly. Orlando Bloom is totally annoying, Brad Pitt is a good-looking Hollywood-guy, but hell no, use him for a good purpose, not for Achilles. The audience (you) can't take Achilles seriously if he is Brad Pitt?! Always use more anonymous actors for this kind of movies (like Peter Jackson did with LOTR). I would advice anybody to see this movie, so you can see how Hollywood rapes our European history. And for God's sake, it's your own history too, America.
