- jkljlk11975 de marzo de 2026"The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now."
- elonleikkaaja1 de febrero de 2026Boy oh boy! A large-scale adaptation of Homer’s Iliad. And what a great movie this is! After Gladiator I'd rate this best sword and sandal -movie. Many great lines, super closeup shots, tight fight scene coreographs. Diane Kruger at peak hotness too as Helen. Even Sean Bean survives :D
- Patrick D.21 de septiembre de 2025Man, I miss the 2000s big budget historical epics. This movie is great. It has aged phenomenally, too.
- EnochLight20 de enero de 2025They don't make sword and sandal flicks like this anymore. TROY is beautifully shot, and Petersen's more realistic take on this legendary war epic is a sight to behold. There are no subtextual conversations from the POV of Zeus, Hera, or any of the other various Gods of Olympus. The film is from the POV of the mortals who loved, fought, and died in Homer's epic, and in doing so - Petersen grounds the film in a world that feels "real". Brad Pitt seems like he was born to play Achilles, as was Eric Bana playing Hector. Orlando Bloom, fresh off of Lord of the Rings, portrays a splendid Paris, and Brian Cox as Agamemnon was a brilliant choice. Peter O'Toole as Priam couldn't have been better, and Brendan Gleeson, Diane Kruger, and Rose Byrne all bring their A-game. If I had any complaint, it's that I would have loved to have seen Sean Bean as Odysseus in a follow-up in The Odyssey, but that ship has long sailed to Ithaca. On that note, I am very much looking forward to what Christopher Nolan does with The Odyssey (hoping he keeps the mythological/supernatural elements). Overall, TROY is underappreciated and a fantastic piece of film history. Highly recommended!
- cyberbillp29 de diciembre de 2025An Epic Film of a legendary tale. Well done. In over three hours I only saw three tiny errors. Two were Hectors rubber armor flexing as he donned it and lastly the harness showing when a Trojan is hung out a window. Brief minor glitches. The rest of the film is top notch. It loses it's luster after you watch it three or so times, but none the less, this holds up fine when compared to other Epics like Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, or Cleopatra and their ilk. Movies this good don't come along often. Watch it!
- Kit Lazer29 de marzo de 2025I probably watched this 50 times as a kid.
- Michael Heimgartner28 de diciembre de 2025Achilles’ War – Not Troy’s The extended cut of Wolfgang Petersen’s 2004 film Troy surprised me more than I expected. While it still carries the weight and tone of a grand historical epic, it’s now much clearer what this film actually is at its core. It is not a true adaptation of the Iliad and definitely not a balanced ensemble drama about the Trojan War. The entire film is built around one character alone: Achilles. The title might even feel misleading. You walk in expecting gods, fate, and the sprawling myth of Troy, but instead the story is framed as a tragic meditation on glory, violence and death, all centered around a man whose only purpose is to be remembered. Brad Pitt delivers a cold and physical Achilles, more a force of nature than a traditional protagonist. His performance avoids sentimentality and brings out the detached emptiness of a warrior obsessed with legacy. Once you accept that Troy is not telling the full myth but rather the tragedy of Achilles, the film starts to make much more sense. Everything else, including Troy’s fall or Helen’s role, becomes secondary. The decision to end the story shortly after Achilles’ death feels abrupt at first, but it is thematically perfect. The film dies with its hero, and trying to stretch it further into Odysseus or the sack of Troy would belong in another film entirely. The extended cut restores over 30 minutes of footage and changes the tone in several key scenes. It is more violent and raw, with bloodier battles and more political nuance. It corrects some of the theatrical version’s odd pacing and fleshes out side characters like Briseis and Agamemnon a bit more, though never enough to truly balance the story. The added material gives the film a grittier atmosphere and places it more in line with the post-Gladiator wave of grounded, dirt-under-the-nails epics. Visually, Troy still holds up. Petersen went for a realistic, physical style with minimal use of CGI, and it pays off. The set designs, armor, and locations feel tactile. The duel between Achilles and Hector remains iconic cinema. Eric Bana brings a grounded nobility to Hector and makes the tragedy of his death hit hard. Watching Peter O’Toole as Priam is another highlight. His scene pleading for Hector’s body is deeply moving and stands out as one of the film’s rare emotional peaks. Troy is not without flaws. It compresses a ten-year war into what feels like a few weeks. The gods are absent entirely, which may disappoint fans of the myth. Some characters, like Paris or Menelaus, are reduced to one-note roles. But the film does not try to be everything. It is not Homer. It is not a myth. It is a modern tragedy about the cost of legacy. And for what it sets out to be, it succeeds far more than its reputation suggests. The extended cut, in particular, makes it clearer that this is not a messy blockbuster but a focused and deliberate character study wrapped in an epic’s clothing. A flawed but compelling war tragedy that does justice to the myth’s darker edges.
- KyGun13 de noviembre de 2025One of my favorite Brad Pitt movies. I love the story line throughout the movie. It has Love, betrayal, war, and blood and gore. It tells the story we all heard so much about in high school. A once great city destroyed by politicians. And now, we repeat the cycle with todays politicians.
- tellum6 de septiembre de 2025The acting is quite good even if the characters are all unlikable for various reasons. The visuals and action in the movie are also good.
- theLillyPad25 de agosto de 2025If one ignores the Epic Cycle that inspires it, Troy is a serviceable action flick with some weird decisions and poor dialogue. When held up against the Iliad, the Aeneid, and the rest of the myths it is adapting, Troy is a disgrace--a Greek tragedy of epic proportions. Changes are made often and without cause, such as removing the gods from the story entirely, or heaping an entire HOUR onto the beginning of this (already too long) that adapts nothing from the original stories. You read that right--the first hour features literally nothing from the material being adapted. The film's attempt to make Achilles a complicated hero comes across as confused and noncommittal, and keeping him alive past the Trojan Horse escapade gives him little to do but run around and pretend he's had an arc. This is overshadowed by the attempts to make Paris heroic at all, or to make the abduction of Hellen romantic. The way characters bend over backwards to justify the slaughter of Troy for their affair is wild. The character of Menelaus, one of the few relatively innocent Greeks in the original story, is assassinated to this very end. The forced romance between Achilles and Briseis is equally off-putting. The action is great, generally speaking, and fun to watch. The allusions to the Aeneid and the handling of Patrocles are nice, changes and all. At the end of the day, though, I'd just say to read the book. I think dudes in particular will be surprised at how much they enjoy it.
- bunnybash27 de diciembre de 2025The directors cut is perfection. Incredible direction and performances from the stellar cast.
- GSP27 de octubre de 2025Great movie, lots of fun to watch and enjoy
- pipanni10 de septiembre de 2025This movie leaves me feeling a bit divided. Some of the action scenes are incredible. In fact I think the battle between Achilles and Hector is incredible and my favorite "swords and shields" fight coreography ever. But there also some cheesy and unnecessary scenes which could have been cut when editing. All in all a nice movie but maybe just a bit too long.
