Charlton Heston, all is forgiven!

Rating: 3/10 (15 May 2004)

There is an old bad Hollywood tradition in making films about the Bible and the antique. Mel Gibson managed to do something acceptable of it in "The Passion of the Christ", but "Troy" is unbelievable. How is it possible to make such a movie in 2004? Crowds will run to see it, but doesn't anybody have any self respect here?
Brad Pitt is the best male performer, no more to say. That doesn't mean he is good. Lots of British Shakespeare actors appear and they ought to be ashamed. Peter O'Toole shouldn't have done this. He has watched to many Charlton Heston films, but he doesn't reach the Heston level. Worst of all are the women. If I were a feminist, I would cry...out of anger and sadness. This takes female acting 50 years back. To the lowest levels of 50 years back.
The battlefield scenes may pass, but they were done better in the Ring trilogy. Between these scenes, it's dull almost all the way. Keep away from this.
