ALL ACTION, NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2004)

Troy has got to be the worst epic historical film I have seen. I saw the film expecting a higher quality film from director Wolfgang Peterson who has directed great films such as "Air Force One" and "Perfect Storm". "Troy focuses more on Troy's point of view and makes the Greeks look like the bad guys. This is not historically correct. Although the film is entertaining it lacks major film musts. There are endless scenes of action sequences in which unbelievable Hollywood stunts are preformed. There is no character development whatsoever creating me to feel nothing for any of the characters. Some parts of the film are unrealistic and doesn't make sense. The film goes on too long when it could have been cut down 25 min.
My final verdict is that this film should have had less action sequences and more character development. 3 out of ten stars
