Will Self London Evening Standard 01/09/2018
Brad is worth the ticket price alone and others turned in creditable performances, particularly Eric Bana as an upright family man who just happens to be the prince of a warlike city-state, and Sean Bean as Odysseus the Ironic. Go to Full Review

Troy puts immense care into every single beat of its action, and as a result these sequences drive its emotions in a way the script often fails to achieve Go to Full Review

In terms of historical accuracy, Troy is probably on par with Van Helsing. But for balancing intimate stories with spectacular battles in an old-school-sized epic, it's closer to Gladiator. Go to Full Review

... it’s hard to take the cataclysmic events of this ancient war seriously, as it is entirely predicated on an unconvincing romantic gesture of a prince with the impulse control of a spoiled brat and the political consideration of a cat in heat. Go to Full Review

c. B @ceberre 1d Lo más ridículo de esta versión "agringada" de lo que la gente imagina que es la Iliada (porque no es este bodrio) es que los helénicos justo tienen los criterios y la moral mojigata de los gringos del siglo XX. Eso sin contar algunas pésimas actuaciones (o si acaso exageradas) y la grotesca edición del cuerpo de Brad Pitt con efectos de computadora. Sin embargo, no creo que sea tan mediocre como lo que Nolan está por presentar con la porquería que presentará de La Odisea. See more Shawn R @RT13896873 1d Amazing movie Paris sucks doodoo and so does anyone who dosnt like this movie See more PERCY B @P.BADINAGE 6d Way, way better than these percentages would have you believe. Incredible movie making and incredible entertainment. Can't believe RT giving it 53% which is NUTS. What were they looking for, a documentary??? It's well done; it's well acted; and in 2026 it holds up since it was made in 2004. Well worth the watch. See more Romas M @Romas Jun 17 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 Adrian Z @adrianRO Jun 8 a classic in the history of movies. you cant like it. 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. See more Read all reviews
