Throughout time, men have waged war. Some for power, some for glory, some for honor - and some for love. In ancient Greece, the passion of two of history's most legendary lovers - Paris, Prince of Troy and Helen, Queen of Sparta - ignites a war that will devastate a civilization. When Paris steals Helen away from her husband, King Menelaus, it is an insult that cannot be suffered. Familial pride dictates that an affront to Menelaus is an affront to his brother Agamemnon, powerful King of the Myceneans, who soon unites all the massive tribes of Greece to steal Helen back from Troy in defense of his brother's honor. In truth, Agamemnon's pursuit of honor is corrupted by his overwhelming greed - he needs control of Troy to ensure the supremacy of his already vast empire. The walled city, under the leadership of King Prium and defended by mighty Prince Hector, is a citadel that no army has been able to breach. One man alone stands as the key to victory or defeat over Troy - Achilles, believed to be the greatest warrior alive. Arrogant, rebellious and seemingly invincible, Achilles has no allegiance to anyone or anything, save his own glory. It is his insatiable hunger for eternal renown that leads him to attack the gates of Troy under Agamemnon's banner - but it will be love that ultimately decides his fate. Two worlds will go to war for honor and power. Thousands will fall in pursuit of glory. And for love, a nation will burn to the ground. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

Um espetáculo de limonada de estrelas e combates espetaculares. Os atores são decentes, os cenários são bonitos. A luta entre Aquiles e Heitor é talvez a melhor que já vi dentro do género. Embora o género seja discutível. Tróia não tem nem um bocadinho do encanto dos filmes de William Wyler e é apenas um cálculo de pipocas tecnicamente brilhante.

Homer did not deserve this. The Olympian gods didn't deserve it either. The screenwriter completely omitted them, thus depriving the famous story of its true spice, the element of magic and mysticism that so befits ancient epics. If there aren’t any gods or magic, what’s left? A script that is hackneyed, very distantly inspired by “The Iliad”, full of clichés, pathetic chatter and would-be deep thoughts, a boring story that doesn't grab you by the heart and is clumsily told. And there’s not even eye-candy! I just have to laugh at Petersen's talk of "unprecedentedly clear fight scenes", it's just the opposite and the very good Hector vs. Achilles fight doesn't save it. It's not surprising that all the essential fight scenes are seen in just the trailer. If I had to make a comparison, Scott's Gladiator, with about half the budget, looks much more narrative, and although the script was similarly silly, it was a real visual treat, which can't be said of Troy. A few computer-generated shots of the city and incoming ships, Petersen's lacklustre direction lacks any ideas, with rare exceptions. The music wasn't great either, and a few words about the actors: I believed Pitt's arrogant Achilles, Bana is incredibly charismatic, O'Toole is still a great actor, only Bloom, with his not very wide acting register, spoils it and regularly alternates between two expressions: a timid and stubborn. The boss at Warner was in tears during the screening. I wonder if it wasn’t for the desperation of where they burned those 200 million bucks. Poor guy.

First of all, the film's title says "inspired by Homer's Iliad, for which I forgive it a great deal. It has almost nothing to do with Homer's masterpiece, unless I count the partially beaten story. Petersen's film is an attempt to look behind the myth by "reviving" the first event. They are not gods, they are not heroes outside of time and space, there is only a great human story of passion, love, betrayal, war and heroism. There are positive and negative heroes (hector is positive, while surprisingly the conquering Agamemnon negative), but there are also heroes between good and evil (Paris and Achilles). There are plenty of layers to play out this compelling and riveting story, but there's only one layer in which the creators actually do it – the layer of Hollywood spectacle. Troy is nothing more. It lacks pure emotion without calculus, it lacks real charm and monumentality (the tricks suck when there is nothing "behind" them). Petersen does exactly what he famously did in the dream factory: creates a good craftsmanship product. The battle scenes are excellent in large units and details (the Achilles vs. Hector battle is flawless), but his direction is lacking in the empathy and imagination with which The Boat or The NeverEnding Story still shine today. Nothing more than technical skill. This skill is subdued by Horner's shameful soundtrack without any excitement, distinctive melody or a drop of energy. On the other hand, he is helped by the brilliant Pitt-Banna duo. Pitt played his role with admirable conviction, and if there is one thing that could survive this single-use candy, it is Achilles, a hero on the edge of boundless arrogance and fragile vulnerability. The other faces? Bloom is traditionally terrible and now also unsympathetic. O'Toole is kind of awkward, but at key moments persuasive, Bean is drowned in a miserable and touting screenplay, etc. The end of the film is such cruel smut that the knife in my pocket opened. Inspired by Illias and endless stupidity. Homer’s Denyen besieged Troy for ten years, Petersen's extras are done with it after 14 days. Homer’s masterpiece lasted thousands of years, Petersen's opus won't survive this season. I'm sorry, but he owns it. --- marginalia: the jokes with Aeneas and Achilles' heel are really good. It is probably pointless to mention that this version does not work in the complex of Greek myths and illogically denies many of them (Agamemnon is a shining example of this, as is the oracle Laocoön)...

Troy is notable primarily as a case study on how Hollywood adapts a classic work with countless characters, motifs and both supernatural and earthbound elements into the form of a spectacular mainstream popcorn epic needing fewer characters, a few cleanly resolved storylines and, mainly, the omission of everything that could be off-putting for the supposed majority of viewers, i.e. everything from deities to non-heterosexual relationships.

An ambitious epic that stumbles over its miserable screenplay and idealess directing. A tirade of mediocre scenes and seeming ignorance of the myth make Troy an uninteresting attempt at a great movie which is closer to being a big studio sword-and-sandal Cecil B. DeMille epic than a modern movie intended for the big screen. ♫ OST score: 2/5
