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.

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

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.

... it’s hard to take the cataclysmic events of this ancient war seriously, as it is entirely predicated on an unconvincing romantic gesture of a prince with the impulse control of a spoiled brat and the political consideration of a cat in heat.

Troy had its weaknesses, but on the whole it was great. Acting, cinematography, and battle scenes were excellent. Brad Pitt's Achilles was Oscar material. I'd recommend everyone to revisit it. Also check out the very interesting and well done TV version of the Odyssey, done in two parts and starring a very effective Armand Asanti as Odysseus.

A must watch. The kind of movie was meant to be made. To entertain! without the 'messages' that movies are forced on us today.

After watching The Odyssey I needed to re-watch Troy to wash that disgrace of Greek culture out of my mouth. Troy's dialogue and fight scenes were very well written and epic. Great casting with each character being represented well and accurate from the Greek times thousands of years ago. Really made you hate the characters you were supposed to hate and love the ones you were supposed to love. I recommend to any movie goer as the movie has a bit of everything. Drama, action, and history.
