Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2011)

Overall, I felt that this movie was pretty good because it is not like your average Greek war movie. Because normally when you watch a Greek war movie like "The Clash of the Titans" you are thinking of humans and gods living in harmony. However, in this movie they just depict the gods as something they refer to for help or omens. As you the movie "Troy" the Trojans always refers to the god Apollo and his omens when they go to battle with the Greeks, however when you watch this film you even though they refer to a god they do not show him in person. Thus since they do not have any gods in the movie, it kind of makes the movie a little easy to watch because you know that everyone in the movie is human. Besides the movie "Troy" not having any gods in the movie, it is also similar to what is happening in the Iliad. Consequently, even though some parts are wrong in the movie, I feel that the director or maker of this movie did that because they wanted to make the movie more appealing to the public. Because I know that if the director went by how the Iliad was then it would have been connection between some of the characters in the movie. Thus the movie also has a good use of rhetorical devices like metaphor, repetition, pathos, and arguments; which thus make the movie more appealing to watch. So overall the movie "Troy is a good movie to watch because it is easy to follow, it has a good use of rhetorical devices, and it is similar to the epic the Iliad.
