Just saw it, and I have no intention of watching it again. I've never been a fan of ancient Greece and all it's sagas and history so I may be biased, but I walked into this film expecting to walk out enjoying it. I was wrong. First things first, Sean Bean and Eric Bana are brilliant, I have massive amounts of respect for both these actors, it's a pity that everyone else was sub-standard.
The film didn't seem to know where it was going and the beginning of the Trojan War happened far too quickly, Menelaus and Agammenon say they will go to battle together and rally the nations together then the next scene has the ships sailing towards Troy! You do that in comedies.
The score was a shocker too, it tries to be Gladiator then it tries to be Star Wars, honestly, what the fuck? If you miss this movie you're not missing much... well, you do get to see Orlando Bloom get the shit kicked out of him which I guess in a way is worth the price of admission alone. Anyway 2/5.
