Additional information

There are many reasons to recommend Troy as a good ol' fashioned
Hollywood epic, especially if you've never read Homer's The Iliad.
Dispensing with Greek gods altogether, this earnestly massive production
(budgeted at upwards of $200 million) will surely offend historians and
devoted students of the classics (for them, there's the History Channel's
Troy). But there's politics aplenty in the grand-scale war that erupts when
Trojan prince Paris (Orlando Bloom) makes off with Helen (blandly beautiful
German model Diane Kruger), wife of Spartan ruler Menelaus (Brendan
Gleeson), whose brother, the Greek king Agamemnon (Brian Cox) prods him
into enraged retaliation. Greek warrior Achilles (Brad Pitt) brings lethal force
to his battles (and there are many of them, mostly impressive), and his
Trojan counterpart, Paris's brother Hector (Eric Bana), adds even more
buffed-up beefcake to a film so chock-full o' hunks that there's barely room
for Peter O'Toole (doing fine work as Trojan king Priam) and even less for
Julie Christie, appearing ever-so-briefly as Achilles's melancholy mother.
The drama is nearly as arid as the sun-baked locations (Mexico and Malta)
that stand in for the Aegean coast, and many critics suggested that Pitt (who
valiantly tries to give Achilles some tormented dimension) was simply
miscast. But when you consider that Wolfgang Petersen also made The
Perfect Storm, there's nothing wrong with enjoying Troy as a semi-guilty
pleasure with a touch of ancient class
