Troy
Let's get the important questions answered first. Brad Pitt, as Achilles, is dressed in a leather mini skirt and is naked at least 3 times in "Troy". Also, Orlando Bloom costars as Paris, Prince of Troy, who steals Helen away from the King of Sparta.
Now, how much Greek history and literature do you remember from school? ...and those long Greek names that you can't pronounce. Here is your chance for a refresher course.
"Troy" is the story of two warriors, Achilles and Hector, battling for their people, their land, and their honor. Inspired by Homer's Iliad, this epic movie shows how the Greeks and Trojans lived, fought, and died. You feel like you have journeyed back in time to the city of Troy. The battle scenes are spectacular. The realistic Trojan Horse is impressive. The movie has a sense of sadness and doesn't glorify this war.
To make a better movie tale, a bit of literary license is used to slightly alter this literary classic.
Alien gives it 3 astronomic stars out of 4.
