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.

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.

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.

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

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.

For me its a good movie with a good casting

Ok flick but Orlando Bloom is laughable as the hero. Horrible casting choice.

SUCH AN AWESOME FILM! Brad Pitt is literally THE MAN in this movie... Such a fantastic story, with great acting, a great cast, and has plenty of rewatch value... It's just so good 🤌

Great movie but the ending was stupid or should I say childish. They should have had the ending of the Iliad not some silly Hollywood rom com

The main battle is absolutely amazing with a great use of spears. Great aesthetic and nailed it in describing the fundamental values of each hero.

Absolutely brilliant. Great action, awesome battle scenes and great characters. Entertaining from start finish. Awesome movie.

Very relevant film today. Makes you think about many things. Let people never forget the names of the real heroes of our time, not just the presidents who, wielding power, throw people in the meat grinder of war to inscribe their names in history.

Has many great quotes by several characters. Action and story is excellent and this movies has multiple replay value!

Great battle scenes but fairly little plot in-between. Great performance by Eric Bana, most of the others were pretty disappointing and unconvincing.

Troy (2004), directed by Wolfgang Petersen, is a grand cinematic portrayal of the legendary Trojan War, inspired by Homer's Iliad. The film delves into profound themes such as the pursuit of power versus envy, the clash between greed and pride, and the tension between intelligence and blind faith. It also thoughtfully examines the role of divine belief, encapsulated in the poignant line: "The gods envy us because we're mortal. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed." The movie boasts a stellar ensemble cast, with Brad Pitt delivering a compelling performance as Achilles, Eric Bana as the noble Hector, Orlando Bloom as the naive Paris, and Brian Cox as the ambitious Agamemnon. Each actor brought depth to their roles, making their characters memorable, even if some lacked extensive development due to the sheer scale of the story. Yes, there are deviations from the source material, but these are inevitable in a cinematic adaptation. A director's artistic vision often necessitates changes to fit the medium of film, and Troy is no exception. While the absence of Greek gods and the condensed timeline might disappoint purists, the movie compensates with its human-focused narrative and emotional gravitas. Critics have pointed out that Achilles' character development feels somewhat lacking, but given the packed storyline, there simply wasn't enough time to explore every nuance. Similarly, the pacing and action sequences, though well-executed, missed a certain "kick" that could have amplified the film's appeal to action enthusiasts. However, the script shines in its quieter, more reflective moments. The scene between Hector and Paris, where Hector dismantles romanticized notions of war and love, stands out as one of the most powerful and enduring dialogues in cinematic history. Troy is not just a film about war but a study of human ambition, mortality, and the pursuit of legacy. Despite its flaws, the movie continues to resonate with audiences, offering unforgettable quotes and themes that remain relevant and praised to this day. Its combination of strong performances, thematic depth, and stunning production values makes Troy a cinematic experience worth revisiting.

filme legal pra caralho, o roteiro é bom, o elenco é legal, a história do filme é muito boa, as cenas de ação são muito boas, a luta do aquiles vs heitor que foi muito boa, o sangue no filme também é usado de maneira legal, mas o filme só é um pouco longo, 3 horas e 16 munitos faz o filme perde o pouco o ritmo, mas isso não deixa de ser legal pra caralho, com tudo isso, é um filme que eu recomendo, um dos melhores de 2004.

Not a terrible movie but Brad Pitt was miscast as Achilles, who would believe he was the greatest warrior in all the land? He would have a made a great Paris

Great action scenes and music score from James Horner

The great cast clearly help the development of this film a lot, the scenes, however confusing they end up being, have their range of tension and emotion that keep you hooked from beginning to end, unfortunately some camera games today seem a little strange, but in a way Overall a good film.

I read "The Illiad" of Homer. That's why I can't recommend it. Decent acting, but the screenplay stinks. More could have been done to make this epic story into an epic film.
