The screenplay is pretty good, its not as tightly written as it could've been but considering the scope of the film, its a miracle its not dogshit.
Wolfgang's direction is also great, it feels like all of this, the thousands of men and hundreds of ships were really there. Its like they were really filming on actual ships while on water.
The characters and drama are really good. It kinda sucks that this film didn't get a full on seqeul since while allot of plotpoints are completed at the end of the film, a few aren't.
A few characters feel more like plot devises aswell.
But other then that i really enjoyed this film.
Troy
For passion. For honor. For destiny. For victory. For love.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping, muscle-bound retelling of the Trojan War that trades mythological grandeur for muscular spectacle and intimate clashes of will among larger-than-life warriors. It's more about the cost of pride and desire than the politics of siege warfare.
