Pros: Most of the cast (especially Eric Bana), script, SFX Cons: Slightly too long, weak performances by Bloom and Bean
I hope you all appreciate this review as I went to a midnight showing and am writing this at three in the morning – so apologies for any incoherencies there may be… Troy is based on the Trojan Wars as chronicled in Homer’s ...
Pros: Story, Direction, Acting, Photography, Score Cons: Doesn't follow the book exactly. Is that a con?
"War is where old men do the talking and young men do the dying." Odysseus I watched Troy at its opening today at the AMC Stonecrest 16 in Lithonia, Georgia. As some of my long-time readers are aware, I am a great fan of history and ...
Today was something of a fairly big day for me. It was that day; the day when I acquired a ticket to see the film that was sure to be the film of the year. Over the last 3 years that role has been taken up by a certain fantasy trilogy that I'm sure ...
Pros: Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Scenes, Cinematography, Story Cons: Actress playing Helen, Orlando Bloom miscast
Troy is an adaptation of Homer's novel The Iliad . It was directed by Wolfgang Peterson, who has directed films such as Air Force One, In The Line of Fire The Perfect Storm, and Outbreak. All character driven stories where the actors in the ...
Pros: Brad. He's hot. Eric Bana. He's a cutie. Cons:Orlando Bloom made me laugh in places that he shouldn't have.
When I made my movie list out for what I would see this summer, I wasn't sure if Troy was one that I would see in the theater. Normally, I'm a fan of period dramas but after seeing Cold Mountain and The Last Samurai (and being ...
Pros: Atmosphere, amazing fights, Brad Pitt nude (for you girlies), and complicated conflicts. Cons: Gods take a backseat, several scripted segments stagger startlingly slow.
Greatest year of the decade? 2004's getting there fast. Latest reason for this is Troy, a movie that I was so ready to come in here and trash to Hades. Then it turns out to be yet another link in this impossibly long chain of great movies. ...
Pros: Bana's performance. Oh, and nice beefcake too. Cons: Some casting decisions, musical score, cinematography, complete lack of vision
There will be two sorts of viewers for Wolfgang Petersen's Troy. Some will see it because they know and love Homer's epic tale, with all its majesty, subtlety and endless capacity to refract new aspects of itself through fresh retellings. These ...
Helen of Troy, she of the face that launched a thousand ships, has company in Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy. Brad Pitt, who I always considered to be a little too much of a “pretty-boy”, is growing up, getting older, maturing, and it looks ...
Pros: Occasionally entertaining, some interesting moments, Eric Bana, Brian Cox Cons: Sloppy, indifferent and avaricious
Unapologetic and base about its Hollywood ideas of flesh idolization, Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy takes expensive missteps with an old hat yarn of raw masculinity and barbarism by stripping itself of the requisite prurience and gore, opting for ...
Pros: Some great acting, awesome special effects and good character development! Cons: Maybe too long for some but not me.
Priam: I've fought many wars in my time. Some I've fought for land, some for power, and some for glory. I suppose fighting for love makes more sense than all the rest. Directed by Wolfgang Peterson (Das Boot & Enemy Mine) Brad Pitt ...
Pros: Peter O’Toole, Eric Bana, “epic” cinematography, scantily clad good- looking guys. Cons: Brian Cox in a skirt, the butchered Iliad, arrogant persona of Achilles, wailing woman
This movie , which tells an old old story, is entertaining-as long as your expectations are realistic. And if you like to watch hand to hand combat , blood, gore, and an abbreviated version of a story better told by the original poet (Homer) then this ...
Pros: Lots of action, great acting, will probably appeal to men and women Cons: it's almost three hours long
For anyone who doesn't know, Troy is loosely based on Homer's (not Simpson) The Iliad. I will admit up front, if you have any knowledge of Greek mythology, it will probably come in handy while watching this movie. Before I actually get ...
I never will be a fan of Brad Pitt. Nor am I much of a fan of Orlando Bloom. Heck, I always thought Eric Bana was overrated as well. From reading the first few statements, you might wonder why I dragged myself into watching the movie, Troy, in ...
Pros: Story, acting, and the music. Cons: Be prepared for a nearly-3-hour sitting enduro.
TROY (2004) is a fine motion picture up there on the same level as GLADIATOR, the Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe (2000) venture that won 5 Oscars and turned Crowe into a superstar. While TROY isn’t exactly the same story you find in THE ILIAD, ...
Pros: Great production design. Well staged battles. Good supporting cast. Cons: Weak leads. Dumb script.
The Las Vegas interlude of American Idyl finished filming yesterday and my cast of young hopefuls is on its way back to Los Angeles for additional training in true diva performance. The water ballet number in the Bellagio fountain went relatively ...
