Review from a teenage drama queen

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2004)

So, to be totally honest one of the main reasons I went to this movie was because of the cast. Brad, Orlando and Eric, what more could you want? But I actually really enjoyed it. I was a little bit wary because I had read several bad reviews, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, I thought it was highly enjoyable.
It was a bit squemish at places with a bit of blood and gore, but the best thing about the entire movie was how cleverly they mixed in the romance with the battles. There was 3 romance stories going on, firstly between Paris and Helen of course, then between Hector and his wife, and Archillis and his romantic partner who I won't say cause it gives it away.

But OMG Brad Pitt! What a wonderful character he played! So masculine, and dangerous and at the same time so adorably sweet! It's interesting I walked in an Orlando fan and walked out a Brad fan. He was fantastic.
Being a Lord of the Rings fan, its funny how much LOTR and Troy are the same. There's similar lines at places for eg "I would have stayed with you my brother." And of course with Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean staring in the movie. Wonderful
So yeah, go see this movie. It deserves the recognition its recieved, and will certainly be one of this years big blockbusters.
