I enjoyed this movie. Peter O Toole was great, especially the scene with Brad Pitt, who was one dimensional for most of the film, the killing machine bored, Achilles.
It would have been better shorter, but the extra length was not too much of a burden. The battle scenes are obviously computer-generated reality and the numbers are not even conceivable for a large-scale battle, why managers do this? Yes, the film adheres well to historical accuracy, but the result is the main story.
Such a measure is a bit like the Titanic, you know what will happen, but it still comes as a shock and a tragedy. It is a story worthy of an epic movie and you can always check the real history to detect the watching differences.Worth.

I was hoping the atmosphere, photography, great acting, impressive battle scenes and the spectacle of the film Gladiator. What results were actually wooden me (especially that of Pitt and Bloom, who seems better in films in which limited their lines) who do not care characters and dialogue that would not be out of place in an American soap.
The best actor in it (Eric Bana) did not last long, nor my interest. Yes, it looks beautiful and has beautiful people, but even the wonderful O’Toole could not save this tired old horse slaughter. My advice - see Gladiator (and again) or Jason and the Argonauts (the effects are similar).

I liked this film, I had heard bad about him, but gave it a go anyway. It is a great success in Hollywood with Brad in a skirt, and thats exactly what you get.
Moving in a deep analysis of character? No, but some struggle, love story enough to keep the bride happy and that brings the Iliad to the masses, albeit with a Hollywood Ending which is n’t true that the poem, but hey I give em any license. I was told that the film ignores the Greek gods, etc.
but it is not.
Are mentioned and play no role in the Trojan War anyway. Achilli referred to immortality and lets face it if it was really troy invincible might have fired one-handed no matter what Homer says (DOH!), That would be a very boring film.
With all good light entertainment which is quite faithful to the Iliad til about halfway through. I think people are playing their authenticity, you probably have not read the Iliad and the people playing the film had too high expectations.

I just spent 3 hours watching men running in the 21st century leather pieces purporting to be from 1250 BC or so. At no time did I even remotely convinced that I was seeing the story of the Trojan War.
Difficult to define how not to catch any of the atmosphere, but I suspect it has much to do with the script and some actors. Sean Bean deserves honorable mention as Odysseus and Eric Bana and Peter O’Toole fought bravely with some horrible lines, but Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger and Orlando Bloom did not understand at all, if this had been a dispute over who would pay for the ice that had been equally convincing. I know that Hollywood is famous for taking liberties with history, but he might have admitted that the Iliad was launched by the window and called it “a battle of 3 days in a sandy place with people claiming to be Greek and Asia”.
The final film to be done (Peter Jackson, are you listening?)

Another epic, you know you could be on anything, good or bad performance by the special effects up, battles unrealistic, but overall I really had a great time watching the movie. Brad Pitt cast as Achilles, at first seems a bit much as the warrior who can not be defeated (except the heel), but as the movie plays out is credible and you realize how much of the Iliad actually shown in this film, including a list
however, credibly that the fall of the above, Achilles handled.
Watching this DVD, I was not sure how he will handle the ten years of war, but the filmmakers, just left the part of the story. However, the epic, ten-year battle was condensed into 4 days.for end of a movie, and the idea that a major war in another country can be fought and won in four days - works well.
- It keeps the story moving.

There was a lot of promise here, surely, is made in the original, but here the story is well directed writtena first, but Josh Hartness is an empty shell of an advantage, barely show any emotion or any quality shopping for the entire film . The film itself is a slow fire, revealing that it is a good first-hand 45 minutes, but noted that from there, Mathew Lillard is his usual spritely self, Greta is some music from the likes of Coldplay and the Stereophonics and finish is just beautiful. With a better leader than man could have been much, much more …
Hartnett, but it really is a terrible actor that has been imposed so the box office has recently noted that in the wake of Pearl Harbor - a bad movie is enough to cover his lack of acting skills.

Troy says be’Inspired the Iliad of Homer. ” Prejudice is provided to an uninspired script source that pays mere lip service to Homer’s rich history and heroic characters.
The script clunks lines lead to even Heracles could not lift them. Hollywood and there are many free of unnecessary nudity and a love interest thrown in for bad measure.
Brad Pitt plays is hopelessly miscast as Achilles and the Greek hero as a kind of resentment Vietnam vet, against king Agamemnon railling that ‘does the talking, while young people do dyin”, interspersed with Ramboesque dared do in the field battle, and tears (hers, not the public) remorse for the fallen Hector “We shall meet again my brother.” A good European British cast including Peter O’Toole
Sean Bean and struggle to give the process some credibility, but with very limited lines to offer their efforts were in vain.
Troy of the “big idea” was, obviously, the special effects are good when they are fully Aegean Greek galleys 1000 and the first meeting between 50,000 Greeks and a similar number of Trojan horses, or the city of Troy itself, but are not sufficient to hold the attention for two hours. And having to chuck away any attempt to develop the story and the characters all that remains is interminable battle scenes that captivate the most nerdy types SFX. If you want a good sword and Sandler, wait for the BBC to leave Rome on DVD, but they lose a Trojan.
