Troy attempts the impossible and comes away from it with some dignity. The Greek epics are told from such a different context than our own.
They tried to modernize the tale by completely removing the interference from the gods. They also modernized the values by trying to redeem Achilleus with a love story.
The art direction didn't feel entirely cohesive and the dialogue was over-wrought, but it's easy to look past some of the weirdness of the movie and enjoy it.
