Troy; Directors Cut
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I rated this movie Below Average relative to the original Troy, which was excellent. Troy, in my opinion, has been somewhat destroyed with this version. There are plenty of new scenes in the movie, which are a plus, and there if i'm not mistaken it looks to be a little more gory, however the music. . . the music score that the director placed through this movie in his cut has ruined it. The original Troy, during the fight scenes you only hear the clanking of shields, the swinging of swords, the beating of feet against the ground. The way a brilliant fight scene should be. Music of war. However, in this version there is music, and not just faint music either, there is a loud orchestral score clouding the movie, diminishing the realism of the fight scenes, and exiting you from the movie. It reminds you that you are not IN the movie, you are in the audience, watching a piece of "art."
If you are a guy, and you like watching movies like this and 300 and Gladiator to get pumped up -- stick with the original Troy. At least rent the directors cut before spending money on it, because i feel you'll be let down and out of money.
