Really good film

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2004)

"Troy" had everything a film needs to be loved: a star (Brad Pitt) in the role of a warrior, what makes teenagers happy; a classical story to please the lovers of literature; lots of fighting scenes, to attract the fans of violent movies, and a good love story. This formula, again, had success.
Paris (Orlando Bloom), prince of Troy, falls in love with Helen (Diane Kruger), the wife of a king. Their love is so big that makes Paris take Helen back to Troy. This makes the king angry. He calls his brother Agamemnom (Brian Cox) and his army. Agamemnon, decided to take Troy under his command, goes to Troy with many warriors. Aquilles (Brad Pitt), the best of all the Greek warriors,is invited to go to the war too. He hates Agamemnon, but at the same time he's interested in the glory this conflict could bring to his name.
Petersen's direction is wonderful. He really takes to the screen much of the beauty of the poem. It's obvious that not everything that Homer wrote is in Petersen's film, but we can't forget text is text and movie is movie.
My Rate 10/10
