It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I turned off "Troy" after about 45 minutes. I turned it off not because the film is bad. I turned it off because I have no interest in this part of human history. What I did watch is a film executed very professionally in all aspects (acting, photography, action, etc.). The only negative is the love story, done 1,001 times already...and counting. But if one is not interested in the topic of the film, it is difficult to be attentive to the film. "Troy" is, as the expression goes, "not my cup of tea." Maybe another look is necessary, but with my fast-forward in my hand.

I should tell you that I didn't read Homer's Iliad. So I don't know if this movie is really based on his work or not. But I can tell you that this story, or at least this adaptation wasn't good.A prince (Paris, which is used to sleep with lots of women for fun) and his older brother (Hector) go to an once-an-enemy country to make peace, and he sleeps with their queen for at least a week (and no one finds out). Then he steals her without consulting with his brother.His older brother is dumber. Hector allows him to take her to Troy. But later we see that Hector tells his father that he doesn't want his people get killed or suffer so that his little dumb brother has his prize. The father has no answer for him. What did you expect idiot?Achilles seeks for glory in Troy's war. Didn't he got famous/glory already in previous battles? What do you want man?The father is even dumber. "Father, I stole a queen. Queen of the country that you **** yourself to make peace with. But I love her." What? "It's OK son. Keep her. We fight. We fight and get killed. It's OK, really."OK. Greeks reached the shore, but those idiots including Briseis didn't leave the temple. It was close to the shore. Oh, come on!!!Achilles had 50 men and it seemed that most of them got killed when they got out of the ship. But later they're still many. And Troyanian soldiers which were much more than 50 couldn't kill them.Again, dumb Hector. He sees that Greek ships are reaching the shore and his men are few, but he still walks into Achilles's trap in the temple.Achilles just saw Briseis and fell in love with her and she became an important person to him.Both Paris and Helen tried to finish the war by themselves separately. Couldn't you see this mess before?"You just killed my people. Wash their bloods on your body and make love to me. Oops, I wasn't supposed to do that! I was a temple girl. Not anymore."After 12 days Greeks left a giant wooden horse, and Troyanians take it as a gift to the Poseidon so that Greeks would have a safe trip to home. What a nice people! Even if it wasn't a trap, who does that? "We leave you our dirty clothes. Please wash them. We will come back for them at 3:00. Peace."Both king of Troy and Achilles got killed when they brought their swords up and no one was in front of them to kill. What a cliché.I don't know if the word "Code" was used those days, but it was strange to hear that in this movie.Overall, the movie is filled with a bunch of fool characters and lots of "Why?"s.
