Troy (2004)

With a great ensemble cast you’d think that a great story would come secondhand and the stars could carry this movie through. I never once forgot that the movie was almost three hours long and there was not one character to root for. From spitefully revenge and a bastard of a character in Brad Pitt to the whiney twit that was Orlando Bloom, the only lovable character was Eric Bana’s Hector, who dies at the hands of Pitt. Depressing and hoping every character would just die, this move will not stand out from every other war epic. Convincing in scenery, it was a major cinematic accomplishment for Ridley Scott, but not an entertaining movie.
