Troy is Superb!

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2004)

Director Wolfgang Peterson did a superb job with Troy, about as good as it gets for this type of film. There is absolutely no way a story of this magnitude can be made within the alloted time frame, but somehow it gets done.
The entire cast does a fine job, I see no need to downgrade the performances. Brad Pitt does a great job as does Eric Bana who at some point begins to look Oscar worthy. The piece was so thoroughly entertaining I saw it 2 times.
Many a spectacular job was done with the battle scenes. I consider this movie to be a Hollywood masterpiece.
