"Troy", in my review, "action-packed, beautifully well-made".Before you buy, please expand this description and check that your computer matches or exceeds each of the requirements listed. I haven't seen that much gladiator movies in my time, but I can safely say that "Troy" is one of the most remarkable and action-packed motion pictures that audiences will never forget.

Yes, the movie is somewhat inaccurate to Homer's Iliad, but at least this movie is flat out entertaining.

This movie is perfectly well-made, from the distinguished art, to the intense battle sequences. The costumes and the art direction all stay true to the ancient Greece setting, and they all create a realistic feel to the movie. This movie contains some of the most elaborate action sequences that I've ever seen on film. Although the movie contains a running time of 162 minutes, director Wolfgang Petersen perfectly makes the audience forget about those 162 minutes, because they'll be distracted by all the incredible action. The only disappointing character in this movie is Orlando Bloom as Hector's prince brother, who seems to overreact in every scene he is in, as if trying to end the project early, and walk away with his paycheck. Besides the supporting cast, Peter O' Toole is just perfect playing the king of Troy. Eric Bana is also terrific as Prince Hector, trying to negotiate peace between Troy and Sparta. Brad Pitt delivers one of the best performances of his career as Achilles, giving the right amount of power and strength. Set in 1193 B.C., this movie tells the story of a war between the two cities of Troy and Sparta, and the story of one of the bravest warriors to roam ancient Greece named Achilles.

Loosely based on Homer's 'Iliad', Wolfgang Petersen directs this epic war film, with an ensemble cast including Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Brian Cox, Rose Byrne, Garrett Hedlund, Peter O' Toole, Brendan Gleeson, & Tyler Mane.
