Parent reviews for Troy

Troy is a great movie about HONOR. There is one HUGE GOOF that everyone hasn't noticed. It is in the scene when Achilles is speaking to Briseis after Achilles won the beach of Troy and she was his captive the men found hiding in the TEMPLE OF APOLLO. Achilles states, "You don't need to fear me girl. I am the only Trojan that can say that.". That is such a huge mistake. Achilles is NOT a TROJAN. The time elapse in the movie at the exact point of this scene is 52:20. Someone should tell IMDB. My name is Alan Armijo. Thank you.

Not sure how Common Sense Media can be so casual about the sexual/rape content in this movie. Definitely 18+.

Why do producers spend missions on action sequences then ruin the movie because the script is so poor? Another example of some terrific fighting sequences - if that is your thing - but absolutely dreadful dialogue which was obviously written on a piece of scrap paper by a hack on his day off. It really is dreadful stuff with cardboard characters. And Helen? She might have launched a rowing boat with her beauty but not a thousand ships. Oh dear! Everyone is hamstrung by this dreadful dialogue. Pity. The CGI is brilliant.

Incredible set pieces, excellent battles scenes and overall an enjoyable and entertaining film. For a parental guide, i agree with CSM on the content and age suitable for this movie BUT I do warn everyone the Directors Cut of this film is much more graphic.

I Guess It's Not All That Mature. My 7 Year Old Watched It And Said Wasn't All That Violent And Scary For Me. But It Depends.

NOT FOR KIDS

There were plenty of well known actors in this movie. There was an opportunity to make a great epic movie, but they failed to pull it off. The movie is colorful and the special effects are well done. The fault is not really with the plot. The acting was The movie is graphic gore and violence, which I can take in a movie when appropriate, this one went out of the way to be violent and graphic to the point of being inappropriate. What is disturbing to me is the sex and nudity that was very inappropriate. One should be prepared for people to be worshiping the Greek gods in this movie, after all that is what they did back then. I guess I am a bit of a prude. This movie is not for a kid, there is too much sex and violence. Troy did not win too many awards as a movie, and there is a reason for that.

First of all, to those who keep complaining about the stuff they left out of "Troy" that was in the Iliad, I have this to say. How many people are really going to sit through a ten hour long movie that includes each aspect of the story in detail. Maybe a cable series with several seasons could tackle such a thing, but no movie trying to keep its time to under three hours could hope to do it, so stop complaining. Second, this is an action movie, and I understand that, yes, they could have included more of the drama of Homer's epic, but its still a pretty good flick, isn't it? What more do you people want?? This is what the majority of the movie going public likes to see, me included, and if that makes me some kind of a movie meat-head, well then so be it. I like "Troy" for what it is, a sweeping epic adventure, with lots of characters and big battles.

historical movies always good to watch
