    Homer, they did you justice this time!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 8, 2005 | 4 out of 5 found this Troy (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Cast, location, acting, action, realism....everything.

    Cons: Credits too long? Can't think of anything else.

    In the age of computer special effects, they can make an army of 500 look like 5,000 or even 50,000. This is done to perfection in Troy. The massive armies and the battle scenes are rivaled only by those in the Lord Of The Rings major battle scenes.... The cast and their acting are beyond excellent. Please don't compare Troy to Braveheart and King Arthur (both among the best movies ever made) because they are all about different times and different stories. Read more Less

    Troy

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 20, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Troy (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Great Story Line, Plenty of action for the action cravers

    Cons: The story is kind of a stretch from the books.

    I loved the movie, but I also loved the book, and I might say the book was indeed better. I was impressed with the acting, but the story line seemed a little stretchy. I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to watch a long, entertaining action m...ovie. Read more Less

    Damn good flick lots of ass kicking!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 25, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Troy (2004) review helpful

    Pros: The fighting and Helen of Troy's rear end

    Cons: Helen of Troy's poor excuse of a boyfriend

    I loved the action, its right up there with Gladiator, if not better.
    Helen of Troy has great curves!

    Very strong, overall, with only small blemishes...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 16, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Troy (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Great story, even if not authentic, and most of the acting was great

    Cons: Some of the cast are... not ideal choices...

    By and large, the whole point of Hollywood is NOT to represent truth. We accept this in outlandish concepts such as the Alien trillogy, the Terminator trillogy, and many, many others that we enjoy. Thusly speaking, there should be no suprises to the ...alteration of history for this film. Sit back and enjoy the effort and talent on the screen, and have a good time, because that's the reason for the film in the first place. As for this film, there were only a few glitches that I would have changed (if possible), but overall I feel that this is a movie well-worth the small investment for a good bit of entertainment.

    THIS ONE IS REALLY UNDERRATED

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 12, 2006

    Pros: dvd-wise: as good a quality dvd as any; movie-wise: great visuals and audio effects, well-done story telling, despite liberties taken.

    Cons: dvd-wise: a few more features would have been nice; movie-wise: some of the acting was a little off.

    Most people in this category tend to rely solely on the movie and not talk about the dvd itself. I'll talk about both. First the movie: This movie is probably one of the most underrated movies I've seen. I think a lot of people looked waaaaa...y too deep when it came the liberties taken. In this case, however, I think the liberties taken were for the best. For instance, in "The Iliad"(where the movie is base from), Patroclus is not Achilles cousin, but his best friend & lover; however, we all know how most of hollywood regards homosexuality, and in this case, the change was irrelevant. Furthermore, the trojan war actually lasted 10 years, as opposed to the two weeks that it was portrayed as in the film. This is what the majority of the critics complained about, but the book only talked about the events of the last fifty days of the war; so, this discrepancy is pretty irrelevant as well. The book also makes references to the olympian gods which are real in the story, whereas in the film, they were worshipped, but never seen (much like our gods today). Although it would have been nice to see them, I think the quality of the story would have diminished if any attention had been paid to the gods outside of referencing them. The acting, good in most cases, bad in others. Orlando Bloom actually wasn't that bad...but he's definitely not the best actor around, and Brad Pitt's acting ranged anywhere from tolerable to quite good. Overall, a very good movie that puts Gladiator to shame in many areas, especially the fighting. As for the DVD, not much to say. Its good quality like it should be. As for the features, it loses a few points for not including any deleted scenes or bloopers (my personal favorite feature), but it gains a couple of those points back with the 3D-animated guide to Greek myths where it talks about the most important olympian gods. It provides some interesting information for those who are interested in that sort of thing (like me). Bottom Line: Troy is a movie that deserves more accolades than it received and with the price for this DVD being less than $10 in some places, I think it would be a worthy buy. Read more Less
