Troy

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2004)

This film is not going to be everyones 'cup of tea'. Not everyone will like it. That was what I felt after leaving the cinema. I however loved it!
I'm a big fan of the myths and legends of Ancient Greece and felt it was about time we saw a modern epic. I wasn't disappointed. Wolfgang Petersen does a brilliant job directing 'Troy' and his cast are almost perfect.
The best performance in this film wasn't that of Brad Pitt or Orlando Bloom (I hated his character performance of Paris, such a coward!) it was that Paris' brother Hector played amazingly by Eric Bana. Brendon Gleeson, Peter O'Toole and Brian Cox deserve a good mention too.
I loved it!
