Everyone acts like it's a classic when it was pretty poorly received when it came out. When did everyone start loving this movie?

Maybe it'll be better than The Odyssey but it's still slop that completely changed the story and had a lot of poor performances. Eric Bana keeps it from being complete shit.

stunting/choreography/acting/cinematography/character development/special effects/cgi were all top notch and are infinitely better than any of the crap that comes out today. it got knocked for "historical accuracy" by faggot "historians". top 100 film of all time for sure.

Fantastic 1800000 WHITE cast

Brad Pitt is 180, simple as. Should have gotten Oscar nom. "The gods envy us" and the death of Patroclus are incredible scenes.

Peter O'Toole

Wisely didn't try to have CGI gods floating around

The action was good. Disappointing for such an important film at the time. However now that media is become so slopified people rewatching it review it more favorably than they did at the time.

It wasn't exactly supposed to be a summer blockbuster. It had an R rating after all. I liked it at the time and said so to many people. Good action movie with tits and it has an awesome historical backdrop. How did it disappoint again?

I haven't watched it in years so I cannot tell you why I was disappointed specifically, but I do recall being disappointed, and my experience wasn't unique and is reflected in the reviews at the time.

Bloom is an annoying bitch but I think that's his part and it's juxtaposed against Pitt, who is this super alpha.

I've probably watched Troy more than anyone on the bort. I even let my kids watch it.

Getting the part meant getting to watch Brad Pitt on set with his own eyes, which is a sight that left Cox gobsmacked. As the actor recalled, “I remember at one point being agog at Brad. He’d never been in costumes like that… Brad walked on set and my jaw was down because he was so stunningly beautiful. I’m straight but I thought, ‘Wow, my God! This guy is stunning.’ What chance does one have on the screen against this beautiful, beautiful man?”

Pitt did a shitload of steroids for the part

it's just nostalgiaslop

there is now an entire cultural habit of saying of "weren't things great back then" if even something was objectively utter horseshit. the shit didn't smell better, it was just different colored shit.

You're not going to gaslight me into thinking media is just as good today as it was before. You'd agree that media changes, right? Which inherently means the quality changes, which is subjective.

*I* think Troy is better relative to the average movie released today, and I think is was worse relative the average movie released at the time. This isn't nostalgiaslop, it's me just not liking most shit released today.

there were a lot of shitty movies released back then and troy is one of them. it's like holding up transformers as some great paragon of the past

there were more *good* movies released 20 years ago, but that doesn't make the shitty ones any less shitty.

Yes it does, because whether something is "good" or "shit" is an opinion on it's quality relative to everything else. It was shit at the time but it's good relative to 2026 slop.

I think it's being appreciated. It's a great mix of action with the spectacle of those old Hollywood epics. Brad Pitt on literal steroids and naked no less. An amazing cast. Brian Cox, Orlando Bloom and hot chicks with an R rating.

I tried to rewatch the Alexander movie about a year ago and it was garbage.

Don't get me started on John Carter.

the idea that the police chief from super troopers can also pass as a ancient greek warlord king is 180. Brian Cox has some range.
