Based on Homer's "Iliad," this epic portrays the battle between the ancient kingdoms of Troy and Sparta. While visiting Spartan King Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), Trojan prince Paris (Orlando Bloom) falls for Menelaus' wife, Helen (Diane Kruger), and takes her back to Troy. Menelaus' brother, King Agamemnon (Brian Cox), having already defeated every army in Greece, uses his brother's fury as a pretext to declare war against Troy, the last kingdom preventing his control over the Aegean Sea.

Will Self London Evening Standard 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. Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Violent, watered-down version of The Iliad. Rated: 3/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Jessica Winter Time Out A numbingly reliable tick-tock of expository set pieces alternating with vast CGI-aided battle scenes. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine 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 Rated: 7.5/10 May 15, 2024 Full Review Steve Warren Southern Voice (Atlanta) 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. Rated: 3/4 May 7, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... 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.

thiago s filme legal pra caralho, o roteiro é bom, o elenco é legal, a história do filme é muito boa, as cenas de ação são muito boas, a luta do aquiles vs heitor que foi muito boa, o sangue no filme também é usado de maneira legal, mas o filme só é um pouco longo, 3 horas e 16 munitos faz o filme perde o pouco o ritmo, mas isso não deixa de ser legal pra caralho, com tudo isso, é um filme que eu recomendo, um dos melhores de 2004. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Lee F Not a terrible movie but Brad Pitt was miscast as Achilles, who would believe he was the greatest warrior in all the land? He would have a made a great Paris Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Garrett B Great action scenes and music score from James Horner Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Kauã M The great cast clearly help the development of this film a lot, the scenes, however confusing they end up being, have their range of tension and emotion that keep you hooked from beginning to end, unfortunately some camera games today seem a little strange, but in a way Overall a good film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Calvin C I read "The Illiad" of Homer. That's why I can't recommend it. Decent acting, but the screenplay stinks. More could have been done to make this epic story into an epic film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review James E I constantly rewatch this movie. It just feels perfect and has all the elements of a classic epic movie with the action and the romance, the bravery and sacrifice and the way they interweave all these things together into this monumental story that’s being told. The cast is star studded and Brad Pitt plays the perfect representation of Achilles. If you are a fan of perfect movies that capture you and make you forget everything for the time it’s on then this is the movie for you. I promise you won’t be disappointed if you are a fan of great cinema Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
