Hector of Troy

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2004)

Troy was an awesome production. Eric Bana and Brad Pitt really shine in this movie. The plot was a little slow at points. And some of the jokes in the movie require a knowledge of greek history, but other than that it is a great film.
It is amazing the length man will go through for a woman. Helen of the Queen of Sparta who later becomes Helen of Princess Troy the name change is the catalyis of this movie.
Paris and Hector the princes of Troy are now faced with war, simply because Paris was in "love" with Helen.
The battle scenes in this movie were great. In a movie about Greek History you would expect to see a least a sampling of the power of the God's, but it never came.
Eric Bana and Brad Pitt will probally both be nominated oscars, as they should.
This is a great movie a lot of fighting a lot of blood and lot of just good movie watching. Ha ha
Go and see this movie you will enjoy. Word to wise do some research if you are ignorant to the story of Troy.
