As stated, the one reason I kept watching this film was the fantastically choreographed, filmed and edited fight scenes - the sword clashes resonate with you long after the victor has triumphed. Other than that, I can't say much else for this film. Orlando Bloom is laughable as Paris, the Prince of Troy and Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Brendan Gleeson and Brian Cox (all superb actors in their own right) manage to barely hold their own with the stilted dialogue they had to work with. My interest waned between the fight scenes, and there were just enough of them for me to last through the end credits. I do, however, feel the casting of Diane Kruger (Helen, Queen of Sparta) was just, as she is beautiful enough to be a catalyst for the epic war that takes place, but perhaps, and maybe I'm being a bit too harsh here, her acting chops weren't up to par with such a cast of heavy hitters? A noble attempt at bringing the Legend of Troy to the big screen...but I think it could have been done better (minus the fight scenes, of course).
