For honour... In 1193B.C. the dandy Trojan prince Paris (Bloom) irresponsibly spirits away the unhappy wife of Menelaus (Gleeson), the Spartan king. Demanding the return of Helen, the Greeks launch a thousand ships and lay siege to Troy. Under the command of Agamemnon (Cox), revered warrior Achilles (Pitt) leads the Greek forces against the Trojan defenders, commanded by Hector (Bana), who carries the fate of his nation on his shoulders...
Great from start to finish, great effects cast are fantastic, you can get right into the story. I would recommend this DVD, no it's not Ben Hur but it's not far off it!!

This film is as historically correct as Napoleon winning the Battle of Waterloo, and the Americans winning World War II, which they did through their eyes. However, the film disappears into fantasy land with the big bad Brad Pitt allegedly the hero (the fact he was dead before the horse in the Illiad, is beside the point)swashing his buckle all over the place makes for a highly entertaining film. If you want to see good battle scenes, nice scenary and some quite good perfomances this is well worth a watch. If you are looking for a factual account then don't bother.
