Troy summed up in five words: Paris is a damn fool!

Date of Review:  May 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: There was no Roman God named Fartacus. Bart Simpson
Review: For anyone who doesn't know, Troy is loosely based on Homer's (not Simpson) The Iliad. I will admit up front, if you have any knowledge of Greek mythology, it will probably come in handy while watching this movie. Before I actually get into the...

Troy

Date of Review:  May 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: Troy, while probably not the best film on the Iliad, is a decent action film about the Trojan War with fine acting, especially by Peter O'Toole.
Review: Based on Homer's Iliad, Troy is a film about the war between the Greeks and the Trojans and not anything else. It excludes the gods from the action which seems impossible to include anyway. It sometimes lacks true, moving drama to bring out the best...

Hector vs Achilles

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: It delivers everything you can demand from an epic. No more. No less.
Review: Ah, the epic. How I love thee. No matter how many screaming hordes of men I see charging at each other, my blood still pumps with the same ferocity as when I was 12 and introduced to Braveheart. The war movie, is, simply one of my favourite genres...

Sloppy Long

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Wolfgang Petersen's movie, "Troy" is an epic spectacle and puffed-up storyline. It is only Greek myth.
Review: It is an epic spectacle and puffed-up storyline. It is the Greek myth, goddess sculpture, Homer the Iliad, and Trojan horse battling the war together. The Wolfgang Petersen's movie, "Troy" is like navigating a world of Troy by setting up a map of...

Troy: appreciate the few epics Hollywood actually blesses us with

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2005
Review: Troy is great entertainment, from the acting, script (which did somewhat follow recorded myths), special effects, battles, music...in the vein of Spartacus and Lawrence of Arabia. I wish Hollywood would stop wasting billions producing ____ and make...

*Drooling over Brad, Orlando, and Eric*

Date of Review:  May 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a must see movie, any gender or age.
Review: Last weekend, after waiting a whole 6 months, I finally went to see Troy. It was everything I'd hoped for: lots of hot guys (not to mention they were Greek.) Even if you're a guy, and straight, the movie is great. I found it interesting that they...

Troy: A Disappointment of Epic Proportion

Date of Review:  May 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you do go to see this movie, a pillow is recommended.
Review: This was, quite possibly, the most disappointing movie I've seen so far this summer. The reason it's so disappointing is that the story--in the hands of another director, a different cast, a different scriptwriter--would make for a movie that would...

Homer for dummies; Troy

Date of Review:  May 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: There are far, far better films coming this summer. Don't feel the need to jump in and see this one.
Review: Packaging elements of several award-winning films and even more box-office hits, Troy has the feel of a film fresh off a production line. There is nothing original or interesting within, and it is very clear that the sole purpose of the film is to...

Troy=excellence

Date of Review:  May 19, 2004
Review: Troy is one of the best movies i've seen in a while. Which isn't really saying much since some really bad movies have been coming out lately. But Brad Pitt has been an excellent actor in everyone of his films. And in Troy, seriously, who else could...

one of the best

Date of Review:  May 24, 2004
Review: The movie was impeccable. I would scale next to "Braveheart". The fight scenes were enough to make it believable but not too much to make it cheesy.The story behind the movie is just great. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD.
