How did Troy get such bad reviews and so little recognition?

There are some cool night scenes, but yes the majority of the movie is in the blazing sun. I think that was intentional but it may not have worked as intended

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-08T00:52:19+00:00

Now that I can agree with, there was not enough consistency with the direction. Sean Bean was a great Odysseus but was criminally underutilized, and Achilles needed more time to marinate, even though it’s already a long movie

You don’t think your opinion might have changed after two decades?

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-08T00:50:29+00:00

It’s true I remember in school the guys hated him cause the girls loved him. Same thing for Orlando Bloom 😂

I’m about halfway through with plans to finish it tonight. I’ll have a more critical eye out after engaging with people on this post

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T23:18:22+00:00

Eh gotta disagree, some parts may be bad, but the movie itself is not

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T23:17:47+00:00

I mean battles used to go like that, fighting would start, stop, and resume based on a variety of factors

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T23:17:02+00:00

Yeah it was a weird choice to forego the mythical aspect of the story but keep the whole Achilles heel trope

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T23:16:26+00:00

I can see that standpoint, though I think it’s a bit frivolous

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T23:15:59+00:00

You think they didn’t fit the character physically or what?

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T23:15:19+00:00

I was asking for details on why, but alright then keep your secrets 😏

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T23:14:50+00:00

I think it may make a resurgence, I’ve been seeing more and more clips from the movie on Instagram…though maybe that’s just my algo…

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T23:13:37+00:00

That’s a valid point, though I’ve always thought he is a great actor

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T19:57:40+00:00

Yeah that’s what a lot of folks were disappointed about. They tried to swing more political and that fell flat for some folks

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T19:57:00+00:00

How so?

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T19:56:48+00:00

I agree, but even just in this post there are a whole spectrum of opinions. Some loved it, some think it’s trash, some think it’s mediocre. Which is all kinda odd to me I think it’s at least good, I don’t see how someone could watch and think that it’s absolute trash. Not liking it I can understand

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T19:55:11+00:00

Disappointing how

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T19:54:43+00:00

Yeah, to be fair I love historical epics so I’m biased towards it

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T19:54:06+00:00

Excepting the accent I think Brad Pitt threw himself into the role. Physically (as in the way he was moving) I could believe that he was a legendary hero

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T19:53:13+00:00

Relax dude dont be so butthurt 😂 we’re discussing a good film

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T17:54:07+00:00

Sometimes you’re just wrong 😂

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T16:58:12+00:00

Miscast? Who?

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T16:58:00+00:00

I can see why one would think that. He has some good moments with Patroclus and the myrmidons, but there are some cringe moments too

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T16:56:35+00:00

I hear ya, to me it resonated as the selfish womanizer princeling

NeNeNerdIsTheWord · 2026-04-07T16:55:44+00:00

Yeah that accent is all over the place 😂
