hello there and this be my first post in imdb even though i use it a a reference for quite a while . i would therefore like to salute you all . the fact that i be a greek be inevitably go to affect my judgement i hope not to your annoyance . i spend 2 year of my life and ( all we greeks do actually ) and analyse omirus epos ( and not homer a you see everywhere ) and rhyme by rhyme . if i recall well it be iliada ( iliad ) on 8th grade and odysseia ( odyssey ) on 9th grade . warner troy and be a big disappointment to me and my fellow greek around the campus ( i study in the uk ) . iliad epos be one of the very best literature work ever make . it be compose by a greek poet omirus a whole 400 year after the actual war . historian put trojan war around 1200 bc and and the actual reason of the war not be helen beauty but the strategically crucial position of troy . that say one may now understand that omirus epos be not present the actual event ( a it not accurate historically ) but this be never the purpose of this work . read this huge poem and one can find himself wonder for the very definition of honour and love and anger and hate and heroism and discipline and loyalty and so on . the best part and the most educational a well be these prolonged talk between the warrior before the battle . none of these though be reveal in troywarner troy be really cheap to my eye and and to other intellectual people english finnish and german colleague of me a well . it be a shame to spend million of dollar in such a bad scenario . by the way perfect storm be a bad and stupid blockbuster ( computer graphic do the whole work ) and and yet it be wolfgang petersen best work . i conclude say that you would better watch something else instead . i would give troy negative . it be a really expensive b movie . cheer alex .
