What I didint like about Troy*spoilers*

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2004)

Half of the screenplay and acting was sketchy and just plain bad. People were laughing during the movie when the Greeks were talking about the "Trojans" as everyone was thinking about the condom brand. They made Orlando Bloom look like a complete wimp by making him back out of the fight with Helens husband and it almost ruined the movie, but in the end Brad saves it. I became a big fan of Bloom after The Lord of The Rings and I thought the way they played him out in Troy was disgusting. What they should have done instead was have Helot, not being able to watch his brother die, come to rescue Paris(Bloom) and kill Helens Husband. That would have been alot better than Bloom cowering back to his brother and hanging on to his leg. It might have taken a little credit away from Helot but its worth making Paris not look so pathetic.
Anyway, all of these bad elements about the movie may make it sound like crap but in the end, they dont add up to being THAT much of a difference as Brad pretty much takes it away himself.(no pun intended, but I LOVE that scene!) I think what really tops it off in this movie, is that crappy Trojan Horse. I mean did you see that stupid thing? I was expecting it to be really cool. It should have been alot bigger and look like something you might actually want to bring into your city as a gift after a war. That thing looked like an old toy horsey five year olds play on. And thats suppost to be what condoms named after! Pfft.
the star of this movie would definetly be Achilles(Brad Pitt) he is narrated by Odysseus (Sean Bean, Fellowship of The Ring) Ide give Brad a 10 out of 10 performance. I loved his work in this movie. His romance with that priestess/slave girl was boiling, and his fight scenes were phenomenal. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes really good fight scenes and EVERYONE who likes Brad pitt. But if your looking for good acting on both sides of the conflict, your not going to find it.
