Atrocious Acting. Deplorable directing. Very, very bad.

Rating: 1/10 (24 February 2005)

My first review, but Troy is so bad it moved me. Without hesitation, I must say that TROY is the worst movie I've seen in years. It was a 7 day rental...took me three sessions over 5 days to finish the 3 hour digital army engagement. My wife and I finished watching only to see if the girls and the little boy escape the city through the secret tunnel as the Greeks plunder Troy. We see them enter the tunnel...and ...and...we don't see them again!!! Did they make it out to the other side? Were they captured, tortured, beheaded? The acting is horrendous. Someone should tell director Peterson that just because he CAN digitally create an army of 500,000 troops and a navy of 200 sailing ships, doesn't mean he has to. Way over done. I like Brad Pitt and "Helen" was worth going to war over, but this movie should be banned.
