The war is good, the script not so much...

Rating: 6/10 (13 May 2017)

The fight scenes are certainly the best thing about Troy, the strategies on the battlefield, and even some ancient myths are portrayed in a grandiloquent and very beautiful way of seeing. Aquiles (Brad Pitt) is the character who seems to work the most within the story (one of the few who can do that, by the way), much for the performance of Brad Pitt, who even arrogant most of the time, still be charismatic. The story as a whole no longer has so many trumps. The movie takes a long time to "mesh," and has a very slow start. And the script itself is not a primordial one, full of very vague dialogues, made only to establish things that will be used as hooks later (in a way not very subtle), and with a very inconstant rhythm, with huge stops, Rather than forced, that break the rhythm of the film without any very concrete reason. All in all, the film does not set out to give you a great, complex story line, so even with a mediocre script it's still a good war movie, with incredible fights and a visual of envy. Ps: The Hector vs Achilles fight is amazing!
