Chicago Tribune
In a league with Hollywood's top historical epics, ancient or otherwise. It's stunningly handsome film, with an equally stunning cast and engrossing story.

Philadelphia Inquirer
When the film focuses on the Trojans, it's splendid. But when Troy attempts to sort out the competing agendas of the Greeks, it drags.

Troy has an incredible atmosphere. The casting is exquisite. I was emotionally invested.

Greetings from Lithuania. "Troy" (2004) is a very well made movie. While it's not historically accurate, I always enjoyed this movie as pure popcorn entertainment. Re-watching it recently i rediscovered just how great this movie is in terms of visuals, pacing and storytelling. At running time 2 h 35 min (Theatrical version) and 3 h 05 min Director's Cut (which is a must see) this movie never drags and is a terrific entertainment from start till finish. Wonderful cast of great actors did a terrific job - they all are great in this one (just except for maybe Orlando). I always liked that there is no clear hero / villain in this one and you can root for both sides: Brad Pitt and Eric Bana were truly superb in their respective roles and especially Bana who is the star of this movie I think in terms of human hero. Set design was amazing and its feel of place and time is superbly made. The only flaw I think was a third act that it felt a bit draggy, but still there is a lot be loved there.Overall, "Troy" (2004) still hold up as a terrific popcorn entertainment. This movie looks gorgeous, acting is superb by many great faces and there is superb craftsmanship in every scene. Superb entertainment.

The movie is successful -- harsh, serious, and both exhilarating and tragic, the right tonal combination for Homer. [17 May 2004, p. 107]

The New York Times
For what it is -- a big, expensive, occasionally campy action movie full of well-known actors speaking in well-rounded accents -- Troy is not bad. It has the blocky, earnest integrity of a classic comic book, and it labors to respect the strangeness and grandeur of its classical sources.

Chicago Sun-Times
The movie sidesteps the existence of the Greek gods, turns its heroes into action movie cliches and demonstrates that we're getting tired of computer-generated armies.

Village Voice
Hardly gay camp for nothing, sword-and-sandal epics cannot help but teeter on the brink of self-mockery, and Troy, for all its grim seriousness, embraces both the clichés and the beefcake.

Troy does look good--so good, in fact, that it takes a while to reveal itself as a thundering dud with much action but little personality, human drama, or brains.

It's weird seeing a film like this; it's not like it's a progression-type film or a low-pacing film; it's just a complete film, like a documentary. The film centred around Achilles about the Trojan War should have been watched before The Odyssey, but it doesn't matter because the characters are completely different. Christopher Nolan made this fictional character look like a hero, but when I watch Troy, most of them are a bunch of old ****, which makes sense considering they are trying to overtake someone's land while talking about God like they are some devoted men, except Odysseus; we don't see much of him. They set the location, and the fight sequences are fantastic because you really feel the scale and authenticity. Nevertheless, some characters are just not developed or are straight-up insufferable. Most of the female characters are an emotional dump, and the Paris guy, he's a ****, bro. He ran away from the duel, no honour, and then he started to have this "I am a prince" moment, like he's better. **** Achilles and act like he's some kind of hero. I don't mind Achilles' death; he's not a good guy, but neither is Paris. He definitely brags this like he fights fair because he's ultimately a ****. Overall, I love the scenery.

Sam kebab był dobry ale gdyby był idealny dałbym pięć. Głównym problemem kebaba było praktycznie brak sosu a bułka była spleśniała.

Extremely long, very boring and tried way too hard. The battle scenes weren't that great. Terrible acting to go around and a script that seem to be made by morons. Just like the Trojans were. Don't be fooled by the spectacle.
