Review of Troy

Troy (2004)
7/10
What this movie needed was more gladiator style combat n more footage of Ajax.

Its strange that my earlier review got deleted. Must be some Bollywood fanboy.

I first saw this in 2004 in a theatre, then again on a dvd which I own.

Revisited the Director's Cut of 196 minutes recently which has more nudity of Diane Kruger (amazing boobs n butt), it has more violence and gore, including much more of Ajax's bloody rampage on the Trojans during the initial attack by the Greek Army.

It also has a sequence where the few surviving Trojans escape to Mount Ida.

The only thing i didn't like in the Director's Cut was the scene depicting the soldiers raping women and murdering babies.

This one is a good example of a sword n sandal movie but there is no tension or suspense.

The best scene is the fight sequence between Hector n Achilles along with a superb background music.
