MY REVIEW: War of All Times!!

Rating: 9/10 (18 April 2014)

Troy. If once I do not delve into how correct was the movie, this is one of my favourite war movie. Troy scores by a distance on visuals of ruthless and massive war and over the portrayal of great warriors like Achilles and Hector played by almost equal charisma of Brad Pitt and Eric Bana respectively. I can watch the combat scene between Achilles and Hector a hundred times without blinking my eyes. The mutual respect that great warriors show to each other forms the soul of the movie. Orlando Bloom depicting the weakest character in the movie falls flat and is the only weak spot in otherwise strong casting. Even after being more than three hours long, movie never seems to be running out of steam. It gets better in second half before shattering your hearts in the climax. Troy is one of those massive film making done without use of CGI. The cinematography, photography, costume design, set design, everything is first rate. I am going with mind blowing 9 out of 10 for Troy. Despite its flaws, it is one of the finest war drama shown on celluloid.
