This is an 'epic' only fans of The Rock could enjoy.

The removal of the gods from the material has all sorts of problematic results, for which Petersen has not found adequate solutions.
05/13/04
It's a crime that one of the most fascinating stories of ancient literature could be turned into such a dull film.
05/17/04
Aside from being the first Hair Movie of the year, Troy also claims the prize of being the first Get Your Fat Butt to the Gym Movie of the year.

Gorgeous men in skirts... it should be better but I didn't fall for that Trojan horse bit - where they disguise an average script by surrounding it with talented actors.
05/14/04
The camera creeps and swoops around Pitt and Bana, as if they're Kirk and Spock in some kind of hyper-realized "Amok Time."

I swear if I hear the phrase “the Gods” one more time I’m going to puke.
06/11/04
...this is really Brad Pitt's show, and while he gives a physically impressive performance, he fails to find a way to turn Achilles into the hero this story demands.
05/18/04
Alas, like the famous Trojan Horse, Troy is hollow on the inside.

Troy is a Cliffs Notes version without the helpful observations, a classic fable reduced to soap opera cheese and action movie idiocy.
05/19/04
Often plays like what it is: a clunky toga-and-sandals picture, with Hollywood compromises abounding.
05/14/04
Like a Trojan Horse, Troy is built on a shell that at first glance is appealing, but reveals its deception when you least expect it to.
