Review of Troy (2004) by Clem666 — 19 Feb 2021
I can't even think of the amount of money spinning around this movie. Famous director, a lot of famous actors, a bunch of extras and special effects. The original artwork is quite respected even if the atmosphere of greek tragedies doesn't match at all with all these american eyes and brains.
Brad Pitt's acting is terrible: he always has this kind of angry and dumb face even when he is sorry. I can only salute him for his ability to perform martial choregraphies. He however managed to reduce the overall epicness tone of the movie by attenuating the intensity of the events.
It is really hard to have empathy for any of the characters excepted for Priam, Hector and his wife because the others all look like pre-programmed robots. It is not because your story is written that you have to play it like robots come on.
