tim s This film is a true sword-and-sandal epic, reminiscent of those from the 50s and 60s. The scope is grand, the battles are brutal, and the themes of love and loss, as well as betrayal and honor, are palpable. It stands as the best cinematic depiction of the Trojan War. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review LNmck86 . Good movie, but ... ignores too many things or change it ... Paris never did a fight against Menelaus, Paris is an archer, so is ridiculous that he fight against another like did in the movie. Hector never could kill Menelaus... Menelaus dont die at Troy war, he fix the things with Helen and both returns safe after 8 years of a sea ​​crossing to Sparta. Achilles never were inside Troy, he die much earlier when was messing with Hector corpse and with a single arrow from Paris since the wall, he was known for own a spectacular aim. Ayax death wasnt in a battle, was a suicide (for a honor fight against Odysseus for can get Achilles armor) Agamemnon dont die in Troy, he die when returns to home by his wife. The movie ignores totally many things happens at many books, not only about Troy war, also the stories after the war. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Janice F A bitter disappointment. Pitt was the only one worth watching and even his character was lacklustre. Orlando Blooms’ casting as Paris was a massive mistake. He turned Paris into a pathetic joke. Eric Bana was his usual self, staring wide eyed is the only acting trick in his arsenal. Peter O’Toole as Priam sleep walked through the film, probably thinking about his paycheque. I swear the actor who played Patroclus was half real half AI. At one point his face looked totally fake. Gratuitous nudity was all on the women, as usual, even though there were some sneak peaks at Pitts butt. There were a ton of bloopers, fake looking corpses on the biers, supposed bronze armour bending when removed. The list goes on and on. Whoever edited this mess was surely playing Angry Birds instead of watching the film. Frankly, I don’t blame them. And can someone tell me why the Hollywood types can’t follow a story? The Iliad is a tale worth telling. Helen did not escape, Menalaus took her back to Sparta. she did not end up being the Bronze Age Mother Theresa. that part of the film was laughable. Instead of this bogged down mess, they should have made Colleen McCullough’s book The Song of Troy into a movie instead. Take my advice, read the book, skip this film, unless you’re bored and have nothing else to do for 1.5 hours. But seriously, read the book, you’ll be glad you did. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Suleiman T The fact that Paris steals the wife of a King, runs from the battle against the one from who he has taken the wife and still gets to kill one of the most legendary man in human history makes me angry Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Matthew T The sheer effort put into this film far surpasses the effort that went into the script. It’s a grand tale that, in the larger scheme of things, succeeds—thanks in no small part to its top-tier cast, including Brad Pitt, Peter O'Toole, Brian Cox, Sean Bean, Orlando Bloom, Diane Kruger and Rose Byrne in her big Hollywood debut. The dialogue isn’t the real issue; rather, it’s the sudden wave of stupidity that afflicts all the key characters. Prince Paris doesn’t think things through when stealing another king’s wife. His brother, Hector suffers from an inexplicable sense of dread, even though he could have easily avoided disaster by simply ordering his archers to take out his foe—which Paris, later figures out. Then there’s the king, their father, and his clueless oracles, who repeatedly hand Troy over to its doom, culminating in the baffling decision not to burn the giant wooden horse. In the words of the great Homer, "D'oh!" But hey, that’s how the old story goes, more or less, and besides, it’s undeniably entertaining. This is an enjoyable, rewatchable film packed with spectacular battles, heroism, romance, gorgeous costumes, a sweeping Hollywood score, and massive set pieces. As far as popcorn flicks go, it absolutely wins the day.
