i have high hope for troy and i be so bitterly disappointed . the film be direct so badly it make my stomach ache . the pacing be so slow and the dialogue laughable and the film well apart from a nice fight scene between achilles ( pitt ) and hector ( bana ) the rest be shallow . and why and oh why do hollywood always insist on rewrite story to fit consumer approval . agamemnon do not die in troy and the war last 10 year and achilles be kill by paris outside the wall of troy with an arrow to the ankle . it annoy me that such a classic story a this be turn into a soap . and do not even start me on the lack of chemistry between helen and paris . she be the woman the war be fight over and it do not even look a if the two of them care a great deal about the other . no spark and no emotion and no hope . i have to say in the film defence brad pitt and eric bana and peter o toole act very well with a bad script but that isn not enough to save this awful movie . can anybody tell me where the £200 million budget go . maybe in all the tree they use for the funeral pyre where do they get all those tree . i be so disappointed it hurt .
