From Bad...to Worse!

Rating: 2/10 (23 August 2006)

Just don't watch it. It's like someone took the Iliad, and dumped in an excuse to make money by having Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom in it, and then made up a ridiculous plot that has only a slight resemblance to the actual story. It was painful to watch, and anyone who has any kind of education, will agree. I thought the plot was ridiculous, and the costumes were worse. They were romaticized versions of Greek battle gear. Not only that, but Paris was definitely not some sweet and innocent hero. He made off with another man's wife, and a lot of treasure. Also, neither he nor Achilles survived, and Helen went back to Menelaus. In fact, Achilles killed Hector, Paris killed Achilles, and then was shot by one of the Greek army, and died. So, the moral of the story? Troy was a hyped-up piece of junk that was just an excuse to use Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom and some CG to make an "Epic" Picture.
