im just wondering...umm...you do know that the plot of this was a book called "The Iliad" that was written hundereds of years ago right? i mean...saying the plot was "pretty good"...thats something you say about scarface....not about the fall of t- iroy

im sorry - yes i know about the work by Homer but Troy is not written by Homer, its a film - how else should have i described the plot in a film review?

Homer wrote the most famous stuff of old, ancient greek literature. His most famous book is "iliad". In this book, the story from the movie troy is only a rather small, yet the most famous part. Though, the book is not exactly like the plot of this new movie, since it was hollywoodized and americanized. Nevertheless, the whole idea comes from a person that lived a long ass time ago.

I plan on seeing this movie next friday or the one after .
My parents watched it yesterday , apparently my dad didn't fall asleep like he usually had in every other movie he's watched with my mom , so that should be a good sign ... then again the last 2 movies he's watched are Titanic and Evita ..... poor guy

The movie was stupid. Brad Pitt was not a good greek. Blonde hair and Blue eyes.. And whats up with all the fake english accents playing greek characters. And Achilles was Immortal. He did not die from the arrows to his body he died from the heel shot, that is the story. Trauma already said it about him being dipped in the river and the heel was the only part that didnt get wet. And the boats were stupid as hell. I would have to say there was a bit too many for being almost 4000 years ago. I would give the movie a 2/5.

lol moron, it's a hollywood movie. plus it's a saga, dont expect the number of boats to be realistic. in the movie Achilles wasnt immortal. He said it himself.
