Troy - Illiad will cry seeing this. Review on Troy Movie

I was fortunate to see this epic drama before it is released in India. Not pirated VCDs but in a good cinema hall itself. But after seeing the movie I was disappointed that I wasted 3 hours of my precious time.

People who have not read Homer's classic Illiad can 100% avoid this film. This film will only keep them wondering whats so great about Achilles, Hector, Ajax and the numerous warriors on both the sides. Only thing the movie does is keep on repeating that Achilles is greatest warrior, Hector is greatest hero, time and again, without proving it. Just forget the Illiad, and then people will wonder, whats so great about Hector and Achilles? The movie shows no greatness of both. Even the movie doesn?t show the battle skill of anybody. The devastation Hector made in Greek side and Achilles in the Troy side.

Junk stuff.

Woldgang Peterson can now happily concentrate on making trash movies like Air Force 1 and Perfect Storm, that leaves no impressions in the minds of movie goers. Troy only leaves a big void in our mind, perhaps filled with only remorse about watching the same.

The way he had portrayed Agamemnon the King of Greece is pathetic. Resembles Amrish Puri in Mr India. Was the great King a cruel and beastly soul like this? I can never swallow that. Same goes with majestic Priam of troy. See how misfitting O'Toole is in that role!!

Eric Bana as Hector and Brad Pitt as Achilles?.Orlando Bloom as Parris and some giant wrestler as Ajax...None have the great Greek looks and features. looks like a group of homeless ugly gypsies. Missing the chiseled features of Greeks that we are so familiar with. None are handsome in the costumes. Totally dull and dirty.

Those who have enjoyed the story of Troy and its fall will hate this movie the most. Others may forget this as another ordinary Hollywood war drama.

No comments about the romance that Achilles has with a Troy Princess and the climax that resembles just like a Mithun Chakraborthy starrer.

I hope to see somebody like Peter Jackson remaking the wonderful epic.

Wolfgang Peterson has proved himself to be a below average director, who can not help but make epic stories look soap operas.

Strictly Avoidable.

I'll be back .... :-(
