There was an epic battle between the kingdom of Troy and an allied Greek army. According to legend, the Trojans and Greeks (Troy was technically greek, but located on the west coast of what is now Turkey) went to war. And the battle continued for about 10 years.
It involved a large number of heros and gods of antiquity and was written about in Homer's Illiad. Eventually the Greeks pulled a trick on the Trojans (the Trojan Horse) and the city fell. It has been said that the descendants of Troy eventually founded the city of Rome, and the legendary stories of the Greek hero Ulysses were based on his long voyage home...called the Oddyssey.
This all occurred around 1150-1200 B.C.
My son went and saw it and thought it was pretty good, if u remember that its fictional... Not to ruin the movie for anyone, but as it seems that no ones gonna watch it anyways, they kill Hitler at the end...
No historically accurate u say?????
Actors should act and thats about all!!!!!!!!! brad,tom, and the rest of them will never hold a candel too John Wayne,Kirk douglas, or the others from the40s,50s,60s,
In my earlier post:Gawd, that 'Troy' movie...I was actually kind'a lookin' forward to seeing the epic battle between the legendary champions, Achilles and Hector.
Instead I had to endure a 90 minute male models hissy fit...
Sheesh...

Helen Of Troy had so much more than Troy. It covers Hector and Paris' visit to Agamemnon's court, all the way through to the evacuation of the city after the Greeks overran it and everything in between. I guess this is a moot point with some folks, but unlike most movies, this movie has also done a good job on the Greek armor (they don't all look like Romans!)I agree, "Troy" was a real disappointment...however, just before that movie came out, another came out and was lost to the media blitz of "Troy".
See if you can find "Helen of Troy" (2003)...it follows the historical epic much much closer, has far more credible battle sequences and there's actually a lead-in with the storyline, as well as the movie following historical events at the end. And most importantly: Good acting!
True.Gawd, that 'Troy' movie...I was actually kind'a lookin' forward to seeing the epic battle between the legendary champions, Achilles and Hector.
Instead I had to endure a 90 minute male models hissy fit...
