'An adaptation of Homer's great epic, the film follows the assault on Troy by the united Greek forces and chronicles the fates of the men involved.'

Two emerging nations begin to clash after Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy.

None of that is as big a problem as the miscasting of Pitt as Achilles.

I knew I was in for a real treat when the audience, during the first ten minutes of the new mega-blockbuster epic Troy, began chuckling at the humorous dialogue between King Agamemnon (Brian Cox) and the King of the last rival Greek Statehood.
