今天出了很多Troy的review，但警告先，都不是太好的话，看的偶乱不爽的，look：
首先是滚石和路透社两家大的媒体文章，肯定了一些地方，但总的观点是否定的，偶们开花有点小被忽略，不过米关系，表在意，通常主流媒体的态度绝对不会影响票房，偶承认偶市侩……
http://rollingstone.com/reviews/movie/review.asp?mid=2048635
滚石给了三颗星，主要是说剧本很白烂，Pitt的角色很可笑，演的也平平（当然看起来还是很养眼），这片子得奖是没戏，就是一大苞米花电影，但用来在暑期打发时间还是不错滴……
“Bloom bravely risks his "It boy" career as a Lord of the Rings hero by correctly playing Paris as a callow weakling whose great love for Helen (Kruger, a German model, is beautiful but bland) has the depth of a wading pool. One of the film's highlights has Paris foolishly taking on Menelaus in hand-to-hand combat and then crawling to safety at the feet of his older brother, Hector (Eric Bana). Public shame adds character to the young prince, and Bloom acutely registers the change. ”

然后是路透社的好莱坞报告，内容主要是说Peterson太关注战争场面，刻画人物无力，但是战争场面“好像橄榄球比赛，可能华纳的veido－game卖的不好”。Pitt的角色不招人待见，Hector也不够有魄力，演员演的都不错，但剧本刻画人物缺乏深度，几个主角都是。音乐和布景也还不错，但是米人知道troy什么样子，考古考的是好莱坞老片子……
“The legendary war circa 1200 B.C. ignites, of course, when Paris (a much too pretty Orlando Bloom), Prince of Troy and Hector's younger brother, steals away Helen (Diane Kruger), the much younger wife of Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson)……”
最让偶郁闷的是这两篇fans报告，嗯，不是太乐观，偶就不翻译了，实在是不忍心……当然作者都是男（米授权，24小时后删除）：

Saw Troy. The first action scene, where we get introduced to a insubordinate Achilles, sets the mood for his relationship with the king he works for (but does not follow), played greatly by Brian Cox.
But then there's Orlando Bloom. He's gay, he has to be. The editing makes him seem like a buffoon, the script tries to make him Legolas, and everything in between makes him a wannabe hero that ends up coming up like a pussy.
Eric Bana as Hector helps carry the movie, a man pledging himself to his nation because of his brother's stupidity and foolishness, and driven to be honorable in his pursuits even in a time of war.
Now, the historical accuracy is shotty at best. Menalaeus and Paris duel, Agamemnon falls at Troy, etc.
But those first two action scenes, of Achilees' brutal slaughter of the opposing army's champion, and him charging the beaches of Troy (alone with only his Myrmidons, seperate from the other Greeks) was breathtaking ... until later the shots copy LOTR a bit too much and the action gets trite.
The music is uninspiring, and unfortunately Sean Bean (as Odysseus) plays a lackluster performance as Achilles' only true friend.
So yeah ... see this movie for the action, but if you leave after the Greeks have captured the Trojan beach-head, you've seen the best action, and the best part of the film.
A few end notes: too many almost-nudity shots of women ... you give us blood, but no breasts, Wolgang! Secondly, WAY too many almost-REALLY-BAD shots of Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt in the buff ... of course, that's what's helping sell this movie, and the movie was a bit too long ... almost 2:45.
And to end, a quote that sent the theater up in laughs:
Menaleus walks into Helen's room to find her missing. A guard comes in with a witness.
M: Where's Helen?
G: She left with the Trojans.
I hope they weren't trying to be funny ... I hope.
第二篇：
First off, the acting was splendid! Brian Cox truly captures the dark, greedy portrayal of Agamemnon from Homer抯 The Iliad while Peter O扵oole comes across as the very noble and charismatic Priam, King of Troy. Brad Pitt and Eric Bana truly steal the show though as Achilles and Hector respectively and come across as completely believable and worthy actors to fill the shoes of such literary legends. I was rather doubtful at first when I heard Eric Bana was cast as Hector since I haven抰 been too impressed with his previous track record. I抳e never seen Chopper, his role in Black Hawk Down was nothing spectacular, and The Hulk was just god awful. In fact, I was almost waiting for him to turn dark green, burst out of his armor, and just toss the Trojan Horse into the Aegean Sea while screaming 揌ECTOR SMASH!?However, in Troy, Bana puts forth an excellent effort and portrays a very commanding prince of Troy and has some excellent dialogue. Brad Pitt also does an amazing job with his lines and while he didn抰 have to hide an accent such as Brian Cox and Sean Bean, it was still kinda funny to hear Pitt talking in his normal voice. Speaking of Sean Bean, who plays Odysseus, I really wish they fleshed out his character more. Odysseus in The Iliad was a vital character for winning the war and rather than portray him in battle instead we just see him conversing with Pitt from time-to-time and plotting the idea of building the Trojan Horse.
Seems like I covered all the major actors but wait because I抦 still forgetting someone! Who could it be you ask? Why Orlando Bloom of course! Orlando Bloom is what ruins this film at times. He was fine in films such as Lord of The Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean where he barely has to read a script but this time they gave him a ton of pages to read. The problem is that he overacts every word that comes out of his mouth and constantly makes absurd facial expressions. There抯 a difference between only having to say 揃lood has been spilled this fortnight?in LOTR and going into a lustful speech on why he wanted Helen. Orlando in Troy comes across as completely pathetic and worthless and honestly if they wanted someone who could be viewed in such a light then they should抳e cast Tobey Maguire as Paris. Too bad Tobey doesn抰 have the pretty-boy looks to fill those shoes and we抮e stuck watching Orlando in constant states of over exaggeration? ?
When it comes to the musical score, it抯 a complete disappointment as well. It sounds like they re-hashed the soundtrack from Stargate, Gladiator, and other such films set in the ancient world and just mixed them altogether. And while these songs fit well in the aforementioned films, in Troy they stand out as annoying and barely fit the scenes they抮e used in. I抳e read there were some issues regarding musical rights to the film prior to acquiring James Horner as the composer so I抦 unsure as to whose fault it is for the soundtrack issues. Personally I抎 not blame Horner since he抯 had a good track record in the past and composed epic soundtracks before such as those for Braveheart, Glory, etc. ?
The sets are simply amazing and while not on the level of say Lord of The Rings, when one sees all of Troy they truly get a sense of how huge the city was. I was especially impressed with the Greek ships and the way the Trojan Horse is portrayed in the film. So many times has it been thought of as this finely crafted mammoth horse, perfectly carved and everything. In Troy the Trojan Horse looks like a bunch of scrap wood nailed/tied! together and when the soldiers climb out of it, the horse falls to pieces rather than possess a special 搕rap-door?for them to climb out of. ?
I wouldn抰 call Troy a horrible movie or even a bad movie because it was a good movie for what it was. However, when it comes to films of an epic scale, Troy cannot even be ranked on the same level as s! uch greats as Braveheart, Spartacus, Lord of The Rings, or even The Last Samurai. I find this rather saddening since the tale of the Trojan War is known as being one of the most epic battles in the history of literary works. I was expecting a lot more and was given a sub-par telling of epic warfare. Granted I would like to see it again to have another look at it, both in terms of film-making and for the sake of seeing it through a proper lens, even Magoo-vision is unable to cloud Orlando抯 horrible acting which does rub a negative effect onto the movie as a whole. Also, I probably won抰 be the only person to say this but at least one of the first to say that Wolfgang Peterson was NOT the right director cut out for such a film. To go from films such as Air Force One, Outbreak, and The Perfect Storm and suddenly expect to re-tell one of the greatest battles in history just didn抰 seem like a job that should抳e went to Peterson?Hopefully some other people will write in regarding ! the advanced screenings because I know I left some parts out of my review and I抎 love to hear what other people though. Hopefully the forthcoming adaptation of King Arthur from director Antoine Fuqua will be a worthy film in regards to epic storytelling and warfare? ?
Hope you enjoyed my look at Troy and if you use this piece then please call me 揗usashi.?Take care and keep up the good work!
