excellent film

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2004)

This is the first time i have reviewed a film so... I watched Troy yesterday and i am not ashamed to say I almost felt like crying at the end. The tragedy in this film is amazing. All these people dying for the love of 2 people. Eric Bana is incredible as Hector. Brad Pitt plays Achilles equally well. The fight scene between these 2 is very tense and sad. Achilles relationship with Rose Byrnes is very poignant and the fact he dies just when he reaches her adds to the story. Orlando Bloom plays Paris effectively showing his love for Helen. the fight scene between him and Menelaus is very revealing and shows how much of a coward Paris is. even though he does try to redeem himself at the end. Diane Kruger is beautiful as Helen and i could truly believe she was the face that launched a thousand ships! overall i would give this film a 10/10.
