Romas M @Romas 13h Greetings from Lithuania. "Troy" (2004) is a very well made movie. While it's not historically accurate, I always enjoyed this movie as pure popcorn entertainment. Re-watching it recently i rediscovered just how great this movie is in terms of visuals, pacing and storytelling. At running time 2 h 35 min (Theatrical version) and 3 h 05 min Director's Cut (which is a must see) this movie never drags and is a terrific entertainment from start till finish. Wonderful cast of great actors did a terrific job - they all are great in this one (just except for maybe Orlando). I always liked that there is no clear hero / villain in this one and you can root for both sides: Brad Pitt and Eric Bana were truly superb in their respective roles and especially Bana who is the star of this movie I think in terms of human hero. Set design was amazing and its feel of place and time is superbly made. The only flaw I think was a third act that it felt a bit draggy, but still there is a lot be loved there.

See more Jay C @RT47385444 Jun 1 This movie was Hollywood Gold - I remember watching it on the big screen when it came out. It was amazing. The problem is - many people around the world (the masses) are not familiar with the Trojan war story, or else it would have earned more than 500M easily.

The costumes, the cast, the countless extremely memorable, quotable scenes. It's a shame that abunch of the actors didn't enjoy making this movie, but I sure as hell enjoy rewatching it every two years!

Apparently Brad Pitt didn't like making it and thinks what Nolan is putting out diminishes all the effort he put into preparing, i.e. months of physical training. I think the public, from comments I've seen, have the complete opposite view i.e. his performance is elevated and whoever Achilles turns out to be, Pitt's portrayal will always be the quintessential Achilles to most people.

The stakes are high, the acting and coreography are amazing. Years ago I wouldn't give this movie such credit, because nowadays we rarely get good movies. See more Read all reviews
