Troy: The Masterpiece (Had the potential been reached)

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2004)

The film Troy has got to be one of the biggest messes and useless presentations since The Flinstones: Viva Rock Vegas. The film had absolutely no emotion, no feeling, and no suspense, except for the one scene with the two facing off, which is an extremely odd time for suspense when you have all this great money and special effects to work with. Wolfgang Petersen can indeed be a great director. Das Boot is probably the best sub movie of all time, but when something as the likes of Troy comes about with a shadow bigger than a castle and premieres as a rat with a thousand warts, one's reputation can be dismantled quite swiftly. To give this film a 7.0 is an outrage and a tyranny. It's the only war film I've ever fell asleep in, and I, a filmmaker, as well as a damn good film buff, know when to fall asleep.
