With a stellar cast (Brad Pitt [Achilles], Eric Bana [Hector], Orlando Bloom [Paris], Diane Kruger [Helen] and Peter O'Toole [Priam]), Troy: Director's Cut completes the intense saga of one of history's greatest confrontations, recreated through the passion of one of today's best filmmakers.
"A gripping, well-told adaptation of one of the oldest human dramas." Claudia Puig, USA Today
"A "Ben-Hur"-size epic with beefcake, beauty, outsize heroes, flashy duels and epic battles." Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
"Stunning. Raging excitement, visual grandeur and dramatic intelligence." Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
"An action spectacle of weight, splendor and vast entertainment value." Rex Reed, New York Observer
"Brad Pitt scores in a visually astonishing epic." Thelma Adams, US Weekly
Editor's Note
With soaring photography that circles from above then swoops in for the action, TROY is Wolfgang Petersen's majestic presentation of the classic Greek legend. It tells the story of an epic battle over Helen (Diane Kruger), the queen of Sparta, who is kidnapped by her lover Paris (Orlando Bloom), the prince of Troy. This infuriates Helen's husband Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), whose brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox) convinces him to invade Troy. They recruit Achilles (Brad Pitt), the best warrior in Greece, whose bravery, quick feet, and remarkable swordsmanship (not to mention tanned biceps, short kilts, and blond locks) have earned him a reputation that is almost as impressive as his ego. Achilles agrees to fight for Sparta, if only for the fame it will bring him. Even Achilles's mother, in a touching scene, advises him to forget mortal achievements and become a hero who will be remembered throughout history. Along with the invasion of Troy, a series of duels must also be fought: Paris, who is heartbreaking in his lovestruck naivet, must go up against the enraged Menelaus, and Achilles must settle a score with Hector (Eric Bana), who is fiercely dedicated to protecting his brother Paris and their father, the frail king Priam (Peter O'Toole). When the war finally ignites in its massive proportions, the action is awesome. And as the increasingly dramatic events play out, TROY earns its own timeless reputation among other action-adventure epics such as GLADIATOR and SPARTACUS.

| Troy - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/7/2007 4:44 PM | |
Troy leaves the talking to its triumvirate of Hollywood royalty Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, and Peter OToole. The dying is left up to the chiseled and marketable studs Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, and Brad Pitt. Whenever a member of the veteran trio interacts with a member of the other on screen, it creates a mismatch of talent not even a Trojan Horse could overcome.
