Most helpful review Troy

  • S*%t and Sandal.....

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Gonzo Soul from The Thoroughfare, Woodbridge , 17 May 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This film was pathetic!! I was so disapointed in this because The Trojan war is one of the best stories ever told, yet this bored me to death with its lack of quality.

    For starters, Brad Pitt's performance WAS the Pits!!! He looked like he'd been taking acting lessons from Joey in Friends. The script was diabolical, so dramatic and heavy in a cheesy Hollywood way that it sounded like it was etched on stone. The battle scenes were poorly shot and you couldnt see who was fighting who and it was very confusing. The scenes with the 1000 ships looked rushed and stank of CGI. I really could just go on & on about this film.

    But what disapointed me most was the Petersen thought he could tell the story better than Homer. He shifted the emphasis from Odydesus to Achilles which made it more like a western. He left out the gods, so it became like a history and he left out key dramatic elements like the fact the war lasted for ten years. The war in this film felt like it lasted about 3 weeks!!! and this film felt like it went on for an eternity!!! Terrible!

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    I really don't know where to start. There are so many things wrong with this film. Firstly, where are the Gods? They are central to the whole plot. Secondly, Helen of Troy is meant to be the most beautiful woman in the world, why have they cast someone who looks like a page 3 model with gallons of make-up? Thirdly, Paris is meant to die and yet he lives. Fourthly the acting is diabolical especially from Pitt and Bloom. Poor Homer must be turning in his grave. An epic story being crucified for the sake of Hollywood. One star is generous.

    Excellent film. Plot is clear and the atmosphere successfully recreated. I am told that it is not entirely historically accurate but it doesn't matter. To the average viewer this is a good combination of history, drama and action scenes (that aren't too long or noisy!).
