Review of Troy (2004) by Matthew F. J — 13 Nov 2011
Saw that one in Nice a couple of years ago & was really disappoited by the whole thing...not enough back story, too fast & confusing.
The mythology was gone , this was just an action vehicule for Mr. Pitt.
Eric Bana was saving the whole film because he was the only one who really got it, compared to the rest of the cast who seemed to be here standing pretty.
Now I watched the Director's cut & then realized the film is actually really good.
This new version is a lot better an makes more sense.The battle scenes are extended, they added some dialogues between the characters and this time it looks more like an epic than just an action film based on Homer's book.
A great entertainment.
