A sweeping Epic Adventure

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2004)

There are lots of things that are really good about "Troy". 1st of all Brad Pitt is amazing, he has the charisma and the macho looks, and he is without any doubt played the role of Achilles very well. Eric Bana also shines as Hector, his facial Expressions are extraordinary, they show his feelings clearly without the need to speak.
The Battle scenes are exciting and grand, maybe not as good as those in the lord of the rings, but at least they are realistic. The one on one fights scenes are extraordinary, they are the best fight scenes that i have seen ever.
Orlando Bloom simply is not up for the his role as Prince Paris, actually he is laughable. The screenplay wasn't very good, it should have been better, but the real disappointment was The score composed by James Horner. The music in the trailer was composed by Gabriel Yared (The English Patient,The Talented Mr.Ripley, and Cold Mountain)and it was simply great, but the makers decided to get James Horner instead for unknown reasons, and they payed the price now because the music is simply very bad. Overall the movie was grand and spectacular Grade:A-
