Better than expected, this movie actually rocked

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2005)

I had heard plenty of unsavory new surrounding Troy since it came out last May. But after seeing it for the first time, all I can say is, why? Troy actually turned out to be a pretty enjoyable film. Despite a couple of flaws (Instead of ten years, the greeks take Troy in 2 weeks, (laugh, laugh). The performances, especially from Brad Pitt and Eric Bana, were superb and the visual effects, awesome. Cute girls and some of the best hand to hand battles i have seen in a good long while. And the ending will leave you in tears even if you know how it ends already.
See it, love it, or hate it. Either way, Troy has my vote ***/****
