While visiting Spartan King Menelaus, Trojan prince Paris falls for Menelaus' wife, Helen and takes her back to Troy. Menelaus' brother, King Agamemnon, having already defeated every army in Greece, uses his brother's fury as a pretext to declare war against Troy, the last kingdom preventing his control over the Aegean Sea.

Critics Consensus

A brawny, entertaining spectacle, but lacking emotional resonance.

Brad is worth the ticket price alone and others turned in creditable performances, particularly Eric Bana as an upright family man who just happens to be the prince of a warlike city-state, and Sean Bean as Odysseus the Ironic.

Violent, watered-down version of The Iliad.

A numbingly reliable tick-tock of expository set pieces alternating with vast CGI-aided battle scenes.

B-

Pitt seems to be playing Achilles as if he were living in 2004 (the film’s release year) but he’s still fun to watch. The only actor who does his damndest to take things seriously is the extraordinary O’Toole as Priam...

7.5/10

Troy puts immense care into every single beat of its action, and as a result these sequences drive its emotions in a way the script often fails to achieve

3/4

In terms of historical accuracy, Troy is probably on par with Van Helsing. But for balancing intimate stories with spectacular battles in an old-school-sized epic, it's closer to Gladiator.

This is a really bad movie theatrically, however the special effects and "set" are very good! I would not recommend wasting your time watching it though!

This movie will always be compared to Gladiator, which is a nostalgia boner for so many. Troy is just as good as Gladiator and is a great telling of the Illiad, if yiu wanted to make the story work for a modern audience. For me, Eric Bana stands out as Hector. Despite knowing the story off by heart, i was still wanting him to win his final battle. Legolas is in this too but while he does a good job, he simply lacks the presence to leave an imprint
