Product ReviewsTroy (DVD, 2009, WS)

Sad end for a mighty city and it's people.

Troy is an excellent film, the legend told in great form -- all the characters and sets, direction and scenes were well rendered. This is a great film for history buffs, or at least those who cherish the legend. You won't be disappointed (except there is no "love" story between Patroclus and Achilles, as it should have been rendered -- much the same as the film on Alexander didn't even have him kiss Hephaistion once -- not much of a love story there.) All in all an enjoyable film. Helen was gorgeous, and Hector was splendid (even if he was not quite the "hefty hunk" one might have expected him to be; as much as Paris was more wimpy than heroic.) All roles were excellently portrayed, nonetheless. Sad that such a great city as Troy and its people had to fall over such an ignoble cause.Read full review...

Epic Masterpiece

truly epic movie masterpiece. All actors were superb, i especially was awed by Achilles played by Brad Pitt, i would say highlight of his career.
Orlando bloom also shone as Paris, the silly brat pretty boy who triggered the Trojan War with Sparta over a stolen queen. He does the loverboy just right.
Beautiful women, with the kind of artifact jewelry any archaeologist would love to dig up. And classical dresses, hair up in fancy braids... lovely, sigh. Can we please just wear that stuff now?
Massive war scenes of guys in bronze helmets with spears, arrows and swords, a few of the ancient Greek mythical heroes among them. Several were involved or got killed in this one chapter of ancient Greek history.
Very well made movie, i would say it ranks at the top with a handful of others over all time in terms of cinema.
This one-disc wide screen theatrical version came in excellent condition new, from yourmomlovesmedia. Read full review...

Troy, the family version

Troy is a wonderful movie, but as a teacher in a private Christian School, there a few scenes that are not appropriate for my students. The CD that I purchased has been perfectly edited so that my middle school students can take in the fine story and actors' performances without concern that parents might be alarmed at some language and nudity.Read full review...

troy dvd 2009

the best movie ever he has every appeared in bravo brad the best line in the movie was Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved? We actually don't know how Achilles was immortal whether his body is impenetrable by weapons or if he is being protected by the gods but when Achilles first storms the beach he eventually throws his shield onto his back at the same time an arrow is about to hit his back implying that he is maybe actually mortal except the fact that the gods protect his entire body except for his Achilles heel.Read full review...
