I found it rather amazing that no one started a topic about this awsome movie... :closedeyes: ..thats why i am starting a topic about this movie..i think this movie was very sad cause alot of people get to die in the movie except for paris..(of course :drool: ) he would like only seem to care for his own love and not for briseis´s love..i think he was very selfish and that he was a coward..and very stupid to bring helen to Troy and risking Troy to fall...(is this sense correct? :annoyed2: ) however, i thought this movie was beautifull...

It's surprising that we don't have a Troy thread here but we do however have a main TROY thread for Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean in the Actor's Movies section! :)

I think I started a thread about Troy on the first A-U forum. Blah...I don't remember....

Love will make you do crazy things...it's just really too bad Paris is a prince and he's risking a whole, entire city for the love of his life. I think Orlando's performance was just a little bit weak. I think they should have made Paris die just like the movie Helen of Troy and in the history books...

It is a pity that they did not stick to the history books

That it is. Tis still a wonderful movie though. I don't really like Paris that much (don't kill me : )) But I totally love Hector! He's just... awesome. Selfless, smart, sensable. And his son's cute too. : )

I thought all of the characters were played well, especially Odysseus and Helen. Though I wish they didn't have Paris crawl to Hector.......

I dunno; I don't adore it, and still it wasn't that bad. Maybe a bit clicheéd ...

Yeah! Hector rules!

Altho Achilleus was weird. Don't ask me why - he just looked weird to me.
Helen (oh man ... the actress's name ... forgot it :$) was great, while Menelaos and Agamemnon dissapointed me.

They should let the Gods enter the scene. I'd love to see Artemis fighting with Athena. :bones:

I found that they protrayed Menalaus and Agamemnon to be very evil -- like they were the bad guys --- well they all were, but they were super bad. But they were really cool. :) Great actors!

hector (hektor) was great.. Eric Bana did a good job. Although this movie made me hate Orli even more then i already did. I mean I Know Paris acted like that but I mean ithink they good of added better lines for Paris then what they had. They made him act and sound stupid.

I think Brad Pitt did an awsome job. and brought out achilles as achilles. I mean I think he brought out the toughness and the buffness of achillies. but i do have to agree he was kinda wierd.

and Garret henlund as Patroclus...I love the man to death but i think in the movie they made im look like a women...vary sad when he died :(

I really didnt like (oh snap I forgot her name to something kruger..) Diane?..well anyways i really didnt like her being in the role of Helen.. she really didnt bring out Helen as who she really is..

Menalaus and Agamemnon..Personal I like Helen of Troy's Agamemnon and menalaus better then the Troy's pick...Menalaus wasnt really a bad guy...but ageamemnon was a selfish guy who only cared about himself..but rufus sewell in Helen of Troy Protrayed agamenon better then that other guy in Troy

Sean Bean as Odysseus..OH yeah.. i really didnt ever picture Sean Bean playing Odysseus.. but It was okay..he was pretty hot matter of fact.

Yeah Sean bean,Eric Bana,Brad Pitt and even Orlando did a great job cause Orlando was told to play Paris that way and he did thats what makes him a great actor (he made people hate him...how hard is that ;) )and i cried Troughout the whole movie...so many people dying and I loved the Briseis,Achilles thing even more than the whole Helen and Paris thingy...

Definitely I'm a big Eric Bana fangirl after I saw him as Hector! I think Orli did well in the role of Paris --- and trust me, I'm definitely not the biggest fan of Orlando Bloom but really that IS the character of Paris, in my opinion. A womanizer and not the best soldier in hand-to-hand combat. He's excellent in archery. And I think they should've emphasized his archery a little bit more than basically before the storming of Troy.

Brad Pitt was not my idea of Achilles, his acting was excellent to bring out the ideals of Achilles but I never really thought Achilles to be a rogue or a rebel of that sort, to fight on his own accord. There was always a sense that he was part of the Greek army.

There was not that much indepth about Patroclus. I'm kinda eh on the fact that they made him Achille's cousin -- unless technically they are cousins but to my knowledge they were simply bestfriends [cough] if not lovers.

Diane Kruger, yes I think that's it... I thought she did pretty good, I really didn't see much of whatever personality and essence Helen had.

Patroclus..there wasnt much about him in Troy...but i kinda do have to agree..they made him his cousins..which is in fact wierd.. when they were lovers

Diane Kruger i think did an okay job.. i dont really recall her having many lines..*thinks* i just think they could of choose prettier person perhaps?

Well Diane Kruger is very beautiful in her own right and I think her glow definitely made people fall in love with her.
