Superb. Felt shorter than its 2:45 runtime. Peter O'Toole shined the brightest in this field of stars. Brad Pitt is no HEEL as achilles. Eric Bana was awesome when he turned into the hulk. The last sentence may be a slight exaggeration But seriously this is a very enjoyable movie. "No son of Troy will ever submit to a foreign ruler. "Then every son of Troy shall die"

Two words: Brad Pitt. I enjoyed it too, although it did feel a bit drawn out.

Brad is lovely, that's for sure. How can you go wrong looking at him for two and a half hours? And yet....somehow you can. It's overproduced, almost parodic, and frequently silly. But it has two and a half hours of Brad Pitt. And the screenplay is not very good and it lacks any real narrative drive. But it has two and a half hours of Brad Pitt. And epics like they used to make them--Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, etc.--really had a point and they relied upon more than beauty. But it has two and a half hours of Brad Pitt. And just because you look like a greek god doesn't mean you should play one on screen. But it has two and a half hours of Brad Pitt.

I am going to see it today and from what I read of the reviews I will probably be laughing at the dialogue more than appreciating it. One that had me rolling was when asked where Helen was, the maid answered ....She is with the Trojans. Well with Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt, I would be with a load of Trojans too.

I went to the movie today. We walked out after an hour. Save your money and wait for the DVD. My son said to me, lets just go and we can watch the end when the DVD comes out.

I went to go see this with my friends and I really didn't like it. Since I knew the story of Troy, I knew what was coming everytime... Also, some of the dialogue had me rolling my eyes and checking my watch to see how long we'd been watching it for. But, it wasn't a total waste of money... Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, and Eric Bana.. Need I say more? Though, I hated to see Orlando play such a big whiny baby as Paris. That guy, as portrayed, had no redeeming qualities to me.. *Whine whine whine* Oh, I think I'll take on this guy I'll never beat then, after getting a little scrape, come crying home to my brother... *cough* Uh, yeah.

I saw this over the weekend and enjoyed it. I was very happy to have all the eye candy this movie provided. Shoot, they could have been singing show tunes in those costumes for three hours and I still would have liked it!

Well, it *was* the sword of Troy, and it *is* sort of a rule that as long as it's in the hands of a Trojan, Troy could not fall... Soooooooo...I'll let him go on that one ^_^ But everything else = Big Whiny Baby

just got back. Enjoyed the eye candy (Brad and Orlando) more than the actual movie. And for those who didn't like to see Orlando playing a whiney baby (and I couldn't agree more) I read that he was cast in this part BEFORE LOTR trilogy hit the theaters which means he wasn't a big name yet and ergo playing a whiney baby sorta fits. (but I still hated his character). on the other hand drool drool drool!

Saw it last night - story was a little bit drawn out for my liking, lots of eye candy , loved the cinematography (primary reason for watching the film) - also enjoy films dated in the past, something nostalgic about it all. Anyhow, thought it was a decent film, could have done away with some of the fluff, but that happens in blockbusters. P.S. what do you do to a friend that spills beer in your new car? Last time he goes to the drive in with me!! or if I forgive him, maybe, he can sit in a chair next to the car.

I was extremely disappointed with the depiction of Helen. A bleach blonde, perfectly made up face that looked like she just stepped off the cover of Vogue was not the picture I ever had of Helen in my mind. Couldn't they find a naturally beautiful woman? I hope Brad isn't pinning his hopes on winning an Oscar. I actually laughed out loud at the end of his 'It's YOURS' speech. All through the movie it sounded like he was going in and out of an accent. I was really disappointed with this movie.
