Review of Troy (2004) by Noah C — 14 Dec 2013

Despite the films three hour length, Troy manages to entertain all throughout those three hours. Sure, The Illiad from which the film is based, has been hollywoodfied to the extreme but not to the point absurdity.

Thanks to Wolfgang Peterson's excellent direction, the action sequences are simply astounding! Thousands of real actors are filmed simultaneously while each pulls of there own impressive stunt, Brad Pitt and Eric Bana are especially great in their actions scenes.

All of the actors are sufficient in the film and provide solid performances, especially Brian Cox and Eric Bana who disapear into their roles. With the exception of some corny lines the dialogue in Troy is surprisingly quite good with several incredible lines delivered by Brad Pitt as Achilles.

Troy is a fantastic action film with great acting, music, and action sequences, and should be watched by any who enjoy entertaining themselves with a great film!
