my thoughts

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2004)

I was pleasantly surprised with the movie, "Troy." I will say there was an excess of bloody fighting but it was very well done. Brad Pitt did a very good job, as did the other main characters. The history depicted in the movie was very informative to a person who has little or no knowledge of the history of the era. As an epic I would rate it top- notch. My husband & I were both impressed; we are well into the mid & late 70's and we both liked the movie. The costumes & scenery were topnotch. I guess the main complaint I have is that it was dragged out a little too long.
