Troy debrief
Loved it.
I studied the Illiad in Classical Mythology three years ago. I studied Greek military tactics in War and Society at about the same time.
Yes, Peterson changed some stuff. Yes, he played with the characters and the timelines.
It all worked.
I went in expecting a fun movie. That's what I got.
The acting was solid, the characters were likeable and the fight scenes blew me away.
The fight scene between Pitt's Achilles and Bana's Hector was breathtaking. I can't remember ever seeing such a beautiful, balletic and brutal choreography between two characters that I actually liked.
See it. But enjoy it or not for what it is, not what you thought it should be because of its source material.
