Nice.

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2004)

Firstly I should warn: I'm not going to lash into this movie. If you want to know its flaws  read other comments please. Not that I'm saying `Troy' was perfect, I just don't want to pay attention to its disadvantages, because in general I liked the film.
From the very beginning I didn't expect to see serious historical movie as it was clear to me that Troy' is another Hollywood creation made to entertain people. Maybe that is why I'm not disappointed. It is a very nice work, the movie is exciting (battle scenes are not so tiresome as I expected them to be for I don't like watch people fighting and killing each other), most of the actors are famous and reliable (and attractive and partly naked most of the time  all the girls leaving the cinema was sighing dreamily: `Oh, Brad Pitt was GORGEOUS...'), costumes are picturesque. What else is needed to please one's eyes?
For people who like to take compassion on movie characters it's an appropriate movie. Love, anger, sorrow, hatred etc., etc. You can't help crying on some moments...
To sum up, enjoy. If you've read the book you may have some problems as the movie was not even based on' it, just inspired by'. As for me, I spent those 2 and more hours very nice. Not enjoying each and every moment, but not falling asleep though. 7 out of 10.
