Great War Epic in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2004)

I've seen many many movies and Troy really stands out, it is on a higher level than most other war epics. The fact that Brad Pitt will not win any awards for the movie just because he isn't a "Russell Crowe" (Gladiator) is ludacris. He acted brilliantly as Achilles-I couldn't have picked a better Cast. Eric Bana was outstanding as well, Orlando Bloom, I know all the ladies love him, but I don't enjoy his acting style as much...The balance between talking and battle scenes is something I notice a lot in these lengthy films. Many either have too much fighting or too much talking but TROY was so evenly balanced, I'm disappointed the DVD wont be released until January 4th, thats almost 1 year but it hopefully will be worth it! Its a double disc set. Hey check out the new Alexander movie with Colin Farrell...its a good flick!
