Critics Consensus: A brawny, entertaining spectacle, but lacking emotional resonance.

Reviews

Southern Voice (Atlanta)

Steve Warren

In terms of historical accuracy, Troy is probably on par with Van Helsing. But for balancing intimate stories with spectacular battles in an old-school-sized epic, it's closer to Gladiator.

... it’s hard to take the cataclysmic events of this ancient war seriously, as it is entirely predicated on an unconvincing romantic gesture of a prince with the impulse control of a spoiled brat and the political consideration of a cat in heat.

Robin Holabird

Petersen puts an effects-generated, action-film spin on the Trojan War, focusing on spectacle rather than emotional nuance. While this undermines acting opportunities by downplaying personalities, it works on a popcorn entertainment level.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)

Mattie Lucas

With all the over-the-top costumes and sets, it looks more like a television movie of the week than a big summer event flick.

The New York Review of Books

Daniel Mendelsohn

The real problem with Petersen and Benioff's reductive ideological updating of the epic story they tell is organic, not pedantic: the "realism" they've opted for goes against the grain of the genre they're working in.
