Do not be fooled by the low ratings by people who are popcorn cinema watchers. I am not saying this is the best depiction Troy could get but it is pretty decent. Acting is good, it is more faithful to the original story (in fact bringing together these minor details from the whole story is an accaomplishment in itself). People say it is boring, yes maybe for people who has never read, or herd of the Illiad. The real epic is much closer to this. People comparing this to Troy are laughable, because Troy is a real mess, it is a shadow of the original (though I enjoy watching it for a better version of Hector).
