It's a disgrace. As an adaptation of The Iliad, it's a pathetic joke. But even on its own crude, blockbusting terms, Troy feels like a depressingly ordinary Lord of the Rings spin-off, peppered with uninvolving battle scenes and self-important intrigue

Lots of reviews I've read slate the film and it is amazing that they've removed the Gods from this Greek mythological tragedy. It looks like Hollywood have created another big budget dumbed-down film for the simpletons of this world.
I'll watch it and make up my own mind of course, but I fear the worst.
I'd have thought that'd be a perfect excuse for some CGI crazy-ness, rather than a slightly over the top fleet of ships.
