Homer's sprawling tale of love and war in ancient Greece comes to the screen in all its grandeur in this epic-scale adventure. In 1193 B.C., Paris, Prince of Troy (Orlando Bloom), has fallen in love; however, the beautiful woman who has beguiled him is Helen, Queen of Sparta (Diane Kruger), who is wed to King Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson). While Helen is hardly immune to Paris' charms, this doesn't blunt Menelaus' fury when Paris steals her away from him. Menelaus' brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox), the power-hungry king of the Mycenaeans, is eager to expand his empire through Troy to the lands of the Aegean Sea, and he uses Paris' romantic slight against Menelaus as an excuse to wage an all-out war against the great walled city. Priam, King of Troy (Peter O'Toole), summons his armies, led by Prince Hector (Eric Bana), to meet the onslaught of Agamemnon's forces, but while the great city has yet to yield in a battle, Agamemnon has a formidable ally -- Achilles (Brad Pitt), a mighty and seemingly unstoppable warrior whose presence could tip the scales in Agamemnon's favor. Sean Bean, Julie Christie, Saffron Burrows, and Rose Byrne highlight the film's supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

One of my all time favorites, i own this one... Awesome battle scenes. If you like Gladiator, and Roman battle "type" films you'll love this.

Excellent movie. Would have liked to see the gods intervene more. Brad pit did a great job as Achilles. Orland Bloom made a convincing Paris, the world most pathetic "man". I love the irony of Achilles demise for in truth he was never beaten in hand to hand combat therefore he reigns supreme.

Great battle scenes. Storyline differs in significant ways from The Iliad. Hate the musical score! Does not work at all.

B. Pitt lack the appearance of a hero -- he acted it just like himself, not Archiles at all... Plot isn't complete, lots of those great moments were missing, you can call it any battle in the pre-history age costume, but not even close to a great name as Troy

it was a mythology so I have to remind myself to view all the gore, improbable fighting and so on within that meaning. I didn't think Brad Pitt was the right type for this role but he acted okay. There were some loose ends in the story which started out choppy. This was one of those big drama films reminding me of years ago and that had its hold.
