Ratings and reviews

Wolfgang Petersen's "Troy" is an excellent epic war drama movie loosely based on Homer's 'Iliad." The movie plot was well written while including the important details of the original story. The army special effects, movie sets and the scenery are all very beautiful. The costumes, the armor, the art and the weapons are very well crafted and stay true to the ancient Greek setting. The war between Ancient Greece and the Trojans is epic in scale and isn't about poetry. The movie dialogue was very good. The cast is superb. Brad Pitt delivers an upstanding performance as Achilles by giving the right amount of power and strength for his character. Eric Bana is terrific in his role as Prince Hector. Sean Bean was born for the role as Odysseus. Peter O'Toole gives a wonderful performance as Priam, the King of Troy. Orlando Bloom is very good as Prince Paris of Troy. Diane Kruger was a brilliant choice for the role as Helen of Troy. Brian Cox captures King Agamemnon's character and villainous personality perfectly. Brendan Gleeson was excellent as Agamemnon's brother, Menelaus. Saffron Burrows who plays Andromache gives easily an excellent performance. The lines are well delivered by the cast and their characters are believable. This movie contains some of the most elaborate action sequence. The fight scenes are great. The battle sequence between Hector and Achilles is one of the best choreographed fight scenes in epic war movies. The violence is likewise beautiful with blood and guts galore both on the battlefield and in single combat. The music score is very amazing. All in all, "Troy" is very action-packed and beautifully well-made. You'll be connected with the magnificent and timeless qualities of the Homeric universe.
