Troy - A Staggering Epic, so underrated

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2006)

I must say, Troy is one of my favorite movies of all times.
Troy is an excellent epic. It takes you 3200 years ago to the Trojan war following the elopement of Helen of Sparta by Paris of Troy.
Helen was a beautiful married woman. Her husband was Menelaus of Sparta. On a diplomatic mission to Sparta, Paris fell in love with Helen. He seduced her and took her back with him to Troy.
Helen's husband, Menelaus, with the help of his brother and all the kings and princes of Greece, went to Troy in order to retrieve Helen.
The Acheans besieged Troy for nine years with the help of the legendary Greek warrior Achilles.
This is a phenomenal cinematography, well directed, a wonderful score by James Horner, great actors. Troy is a "must see" movie.
I'm disappointed that the Academy did not honor this movie as it should be. This is one of the underrated movies of all time.
I would give it 10 out of 10!
