LatetotheShow here - just rewatching a few of my favourite movies, and Troy is exceptionally great as a period movie - and it is just exactly what all such movies should be;
beautiful compositions, fantastic cast, excellent dialogue, wonderful costumes, compelling story, well cut & put together, paced perfectly, and limitlessly entertaining.
As for those who are such sticklers for 'facts' I don't see how they enjoy any movies. All they seem to do is watch movies like this for the express purpose of daring the production to be wrong in any way so they can rant about inaccuracies.
If you want some facts - at least the few you can get regarding this era of ancient history - watch a documentary and read books by archeologists & historians.
If you want a fantastically entertaining movie night, watch this.
There is so much unknown & so much conjecture about ancient Greece - so who cares how an epic film portrays it? Moreover, a lot of this story is based on pure myth. If it's myth-novel-and fictional - then why can't it be portrayed in any another fictional way?
Yet again, a handful of loud people who insist their pure fiction remain unchanged. They don't even like any altered version of children's fairy tales.
*sigh* Sorry for the anti-reviewer rant.
Please see go back to paragraph one.
I stand by it wholeheartedly.
