Troy is one of those swords and sandals films that a lot of people trashed. I guess when you compare it to a classic like Gladiator it is a little soft. This was my first watch of the directors cut and also the first watch of the film in a very long time. I loved the film, although the directors cut goes almost four hours but it gives a lot more action and there is a lot more violence which makes me think the film was cut to reach a bigger audience.
I still don’t know why people don’t like the film much, Brad Pitt is awesome as Achilles. Perhaps it’s the long periods that occur between each fight Achilles takes place in. Regardless I still love the film.
