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

Reviews

Paste Magazine

Mitchell Beaupre

Troy puts immense care into every single beat of its action, and as a result these sequences drive its emotions in a way the script often fails to achieve

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.
