Review of Troy (2004) by Andrewt. — 15 Sep 2006
A interesting movie, now without its flaws, but very watchable especially for anyone that is interested in the Iliad and ancient Greek mythology. Although not strictly faithful to Homer, many of the characters and themes are accurately portrayed.
Brad Pitt's character of the god-like Achilles is very powerful; it is unusual to see a role like this so finely drawn, not as a cartoon, but with the full range of emotions (although Pitt's rendering occasionally was a little emotionally flat).
Overall, I recommend the movie; I have to admit that despite my reservations I have seen the move 4 times.
