Horrible!

Rating: 2/10 (20 February 2005)

The makers of Troy spent too much time trying to make an epic and forgot to make a movie. Character development was awful! I am supposed to assume that because Eric Bana has a baby he is willing to kill? And what was going on with the accents? Pick a common one (even if it is wrong) and stick to it! I found the role of Helen to be unappealing. In the poetry story, you get a true sense of Helen's inner conflict and turmoil. The makers of this movie made it seem like she couldn't decide which dress to wear. That is seriously how much anguish she showed. For what this movie could have been, I was very, very disappointed. The only high point was Peter O'Toole's performance. Bravo Peter! The rest of it, toss in the trash.
