imagine sailing for weeks across the sea for this war/battle. Hearing the amazing speech by Achilles...just to die from an arrow before you even get off the boat.
lol that would probably be me.
It's similar to saving private Ryan
...Months?! Have you seen the Aegean?? Even Odyseuss who came from Ithaca who would have taken the long route it would have been a couple of weeks at best.
Actualy i did looked it up it would have been less than 6 days if the ships speed was 7km/h.
Haha
That rampage by Achilles is one of the best in cinema. Whoever came up with that fight style deserves several raises and an honorary mention.
“Rampage” is the right word. Cut through all of them like a lion.
The music and everything is perfect. I hate that they dont make epic historical movies like these anymore... Heres hoping for Napoleon :)
realism: 0
greeks fought differently, this is just cheap hollywood
@@dali1384 K...
@@dali1384 Everybody knows that, you can just enjoy it for what it is. Entertainment. The Greeks themselves added unrealistic aspects to the story, for the same reason.
The reason it took so long for Ajax and his crew to join the fight was probably because when he grabbed the oar, he rowed so hard the ship was starting to move in circles...
Lol he had to hop from port to starboard side to keep the boat straight
Hahahahah haha
Give him too many battles and the men will forget who’s the king. Best line
The men won't respect a king if he just sit around and do nothing.
@@rojayreid908 yeah, but Kings were never elected, they were selected by birthright. Merit had nothing to do with it. Selecting a leader based upon merit is a relatively modern concept. In ancient times it was about family and nobility.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 not always the the case it depends on the political atmosphere and if Senators/councilmembers accept him. Greece has there ways.
It was usually because at one point in the distant past, one of the kings ancestors had been MAJORLY MAJORLY successful either militarily or economically. Imagine your great great great grandfather being a legendary warlord who conquered lands and based on that you are now King, and everyone agrees to it.

20yrs gone, but no war movie can beat it for bringing unseen past into reality
You know this is a fictional story? There was never a horse. And the War was not like this. It’s just written by Homer. Nothing new on the western front is near the realitiy. Come and see is to much one sided, remember it was filmed for sowjet propaganda
300?
Well this are fictional fights and not historicals. The comic 300 is based on a real battle but differs greatly. But Troy didn't exist like in the movie version either. Whether the Trojan War really existed is still disputed today. And if it did, it was definitely not as shown after 10 years of siege by Odyseeus Cunning, the Trojan horse is a myth, like almost the entire collection of Homer's myths, the Iliad. Achilles was a demigod. Achilles' great-grandfather was none other than Zeus, who was more powerful than all the other gods put together. Achilles' grandfather Aiakos received the keys to the realm of shadows from the most feared god Hades, the god of the underworld and the king of death and the underworld. Achilles' father (real name Achilles), who was fathered by Aiakos, was called Peleus, who was ambushed by centaurs (people with horse feet) when he was looking for a wife at a young age. However, the messenger of the gods Hermes, one of the 12 mighty ones of Olympus, prevented this. As a result, Achilles' father was later able to witness Achilles together with the sea nymph of lower divine rank, Thetis. The special thing about Achilles' mother is that her mother Tethys was one of the Titans. Incredibly huge beings in human form who ruled in the great golden era. Achilles' grandmother was married to her brother, who was sometimes referred to as the father of all the gods. Her mother was Gäa, the mother of the earth, one of the first deities and the personification of being.
As you can see, the Iliad saga about Achilles and the Trojan War, at least in the form depicted, and the horse and the characters are pure myths and legends but not historical facts. By the way. In the movie, Achilles killed Hector because he killed his cousin Patroclus. In reality, however, Achilles' cousin was the mighty Ajax. Patroclus was Achilles' homosexual lover.
Incidentally, the reference to today can be found in the Russian war against the Ukraine; the Serpent Island in the Black Sea, which became famous worldwide in the first days of the war, is the final resting place of Achilles (as I said, Achilles is only Latinized), whom Poseidon brought from the depths to lay him to eternal rest (which the Russians massively disturbed if that was the case). But as I said, hardly a tiny historical piece of reality (which is still disputed) is attached to the 10-year siege of Troy. It's all an invention of the Iliad, the oldest work of fiction in Europe, written mainly by Homer
Gladiator and Spartacus
they don't make movies like these no more. Troy & gladiator. best movies.
yep nowadays they only make some dumb action movies and super hero trash.
Two of my Favourite Epic Legendary Film! Never beats the 2000's film. Legendary film!
Don’t forget black hawk down
Braveheart set the Gold Standard for medieval melee (or ancient world, anyway). Troy matched it.
Gladiator actually suffers from quick-cut camerawork that became characteristic of the 2000s, but is still terrific.
Game of Thrones was good until the last season
"I am Ajax, cleaner of sinks..."
I am Ajax Cleaner of sinks and dish destroyer
Well with him coming at ya, ya pipes be clean in seconds
Man I’m a lover of Ancient Greece
But that one had me cracking
You will drain before me
"I am Ajax, filthy bathtub rings: Look upon me and despair!"
Troy is one of my favorite movies of all time. Such an epic flawless movie. Incredible performance from Brad Pitt
It's flawed as hell, that's why I like it! Brad Pitt's accent is all over the place, the Greek Kings are literally an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman (the jokes write themselves), Orlando Bloom couldn't act dead at his own funeral but, somehow, it works. Achilles and Hector carry the whole thing really.
Personally I think Hector's actor did the best!
Achilles and most of the Greeks were just glory hunters. Hector was actually a true patriot. Unfortunately he had a snake for a brother
This film sucks lol😊l
They way ajax fight in this movie is exactly how I imagine robert baratheon in his prime.Not just strong but also skilled.
and totally unrealistic ;)
@@waldfuzz8188 still cool af
achiles not ajax...come on remember that ... all world knows that name ...Achiles
@@andolini1235 well he is more like Ser Arthur Dayne.
Gods I was strong back then
Pitt didn't even break a sweat. That's some Norris level badassery.
Director: "Let's film it exactly like Saving Private Ryan, but with arrows and spears."
Don't think it's like that movie
@@diamondgirls6541kinda is
We need more historical epics like this
we need movie or series about pyhrrus of epirus it would be epic, his life is full of stories
napoleon comes out soon
@@nickn8564 Aaaaand it sucked.
Achilles' fight scenes are so well done. A warrior of mythical-status, he moves with almost inhuman grace and ferocity.
"We are going to war because the kings brothers wife left that monster for Orlando Bloom."
I believe the myth of him was that he was not a monster but rather she was made to fell in love for Paris because of a god blessing.
One version actually has it all start because a God (I believe zeus but not sure) thought humans were becoming to numerous so a war was the answer to make them smaller. The entire plan was the massive scale of war that started with the judgment of Paris where he choose to give the golden apple of discord to aphrodite to denote her as the most beautiful Goddess between her, hera and Athena. Hera offered Paris basically power as a Great ruler of I believe Europe or something of the sort, Athena offered him victory and glory in aspects such as battle to make him basically a great legend in a sense while aphrodite offered him the hand and love of the most beautiful women in the world, Helen. He picked aphrodite Obviously. Issue was she was alrdy married to menelaus AND he had to go get her for himself basically.
Menelaus looks far better than Paris, even in this movie! ;)
Though he :) is older, he looks like a solid man, not a skinny, boneless structure. It is also that solid grown man can improve his looking by exercising, but not much. And those skinny, boneless ones can improve much, and stil let a lot of space to the camera to come close to them end show their "muscles" :) :) :)
Its always a woman's fault, smh.
4:45 is one of the sweetest moves in cinematic history.
I didn’t even notice the arrow hitting the shield a split second after he put it on his back. lol I will chalk it up as pure luck, no way he saw that arrow coming.
@@revo1974He didn’t have to. The luck is part of the invincibility that being dipped in the River Styx gives you; not only do you become the ultimate warrior, but everything seems to go your way in battle. The arrow in the shield is a perfect example of that
@@revo1974 I think he just knew to put the shield on the back as soon as possible to guard his 6...Basically he only pulls out the shield when it's necessary.
@@SeafoodConnoisseur When he puts the shield on the shore, the arrow was already on the shield.
@@meliponarioabelhaamiga8232 but from 04:55 on there are two arrows, it does seem like another one hit it right after he put it on his back
I love how they make Achiles sound like a machine when he blocks and attacks.
The chanting while they advance in the proto-testudo really makes that little scene. Their formation just feels as powerful as it looks.
Bro what, that formation is useless
Hooh hooh hooh hooh
@@123SEA1protected them from the arrows for a while
Schiltron is the earlier version, Romans perfected it. Vikings shield wall adopted it.
@@123SEA1 Testudo was used to great effect. You have no idea what you are talking about.
“The man wants to die” - I use this line frequently

It’s an adaptation of Homer’s Iliad ,composed about 800 bc.

@@jimtruscott5670 Are you an aspie or something? How do you not know he's joking.
“Nobody fire a single arrow at that ship until it absolutely stops moving”
The Moment when Ajax don't wanna miss the party that Achilles create 🤣
Ajax was by the way Achilles cousin. Patroklos his homosexual lover.
2:09 The Myrmidons have more than one command caller and it is awesome, he saw he was slacking on making a choice when to break off so he gave him some help.
2:06 They also remembered to bring archers to support the shieldwall
Achilies has an evasion item that makes enemy miss their attack by 35% chance. Ajax has 20% damage aura.
Achilles is Agility, Ajax is Strength.
Warcraft 3
Demon Hunter critical miss and war drums aura.
Both are cousins and Zeus is their grand-grandfather
I like the way the trojans swing their sword once then remain motionless waiting for Achilles to kill them.
Same thing happens in any Hollywood movie. It’s called lazy choreography and pandering to a famous actor who would easily loose in a real sword fight.
"Sir, the script says we're supposed to die for the glory of Achilles. Is that right?"
"The script is always right"
It helps if you’re wearing plot armour.
Only in hollywood
I agree, I too hate having fun watching movies. I like to nitpick every little thing like a pansy. it looks cool as fuck bro! just accept Achilles looking badass
Some movies are iconic and some roles are legendary!!
Eric Bana and Brendan Gleeson were phenomenal in this movie.
It makes me so mad that Brad Pitt didn't win an Oscar for Troy. Even though he hated working on it, he still gave an amazing performance.
Yiu clearly don't know much about movies and acting because his performance was terrible.
ah? .. you did listen to his wooden delivery at 0:17 didn't you? pretty awful
@@coolmacatrain9434 wooden as a trojan horse. He's just putting on some weird accent, decent short speech
Of all of the movies he's been in, an oscar for this one? Did they just legalize weed where you're from?
@@maelstrom57 Did you even see what he lost to? For my money it should have gone to Jim Carey in Eternal Sunshine, but there are like 10 performances better than all the nominees in 2004. Classic Oscars Clownshow
That was great. Loved the way Brad Pitt just walks through everything and everyone. :)
Almost like it was scripted!
It's called Plot armor..
So much better than any wonderwoman movies
Eudoros's look when Achilles was giving the pep talk 🔥!
Bro, Ajax is such a giga-Chad. You could say he really helped clean up the battlefield.
In the real story Ajax didn't die in Troy. But he was just too badass for this movie
@@johncampbell9107
I mean in the real story Achilles cousin in the movie was actually his lover. So Hollywood took many creative liberties with this film.
@@AaronSaysSKOL this is true lol very true. Sadly ajax dies and we never see him duel over Achilles's armor and hurl boulders
He is stronger than all of the grease after all
@@johncampbell9107 Actually, real story Ajax died in Troy, he killed himself. Of course, it was not Hector who killed him, Ajax defeated Hector several times.
But in myths, 2 Ajaxes are sometimes found: Ajax the Great, the king of Salamis and Ajax the Small, the king of Locris - the latter really did not die in Troy, but the Ajax shown in the film is clearly Ajax from Salamis.
Much respect to Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven ...but Troy will always be my favorite movie when it comes to this era...💯🔥
I think Gladiator is better.
Just my .02
@@I_like_turtles_67 who doesn't
The Trojan War took place 1250 BC! Thats about 1400 years before the events of Gladiator and about 2200 Years before the events of Kingdom of Heaven. So is not the same era! :)
Kingdom of Heaven had great battles and visuals. But story line was the weakest sadly. Orlando Bloom got upstaged by multiple guys too.
@@I_like_turtles_67 Gladiator has a better story line for sure...but noticed I said my favorite...not which was better..I agree with you, Gladiator overall was a better put together movie.. I like all the movies but yea Troy is my number #1
I’d rather fight with you then a army of thousands! That’s where the term quality over quantity comes into play 😂
He obviously didn’t fight with an army of tens or hundreds thousands.
Props to the cameraman for capturing Achilles' rampage
The Myrmidons, commanded by Achilles were the bad ass "special forces" of ancient Greece.
Dude the Trojan war is mythology not history. Achilles probably never existed.
@@FrusEldar It's a myth among ancient Greece. Archeologists found a ruined city in Turkey thought to be Troy and historians claimed Horner exaggerated his tale.
@@marcodraven9778 there is proof the trojan war happened
Such a cool scene
Fantastic best fight scene looking reál battle
Completely awesome
I wonder how many medieval and dark age characters Brendan Gleeson has played? He was definitely type cast in those roles
This seems to have a little more dialog and scenes than my DVD ... NICE
4:46 Achilles was a painter… a painter who only used red
Jaime Lannister reference.
Best film best action best director
The man is born for this movie
If the gods made me invulnerable I'd be pretty bad ass too.
I love this movie
The best battle❤❤❤
all that fighting and Achilles is barley breathing hard.
Always felt bad for the guys hearing that speech and then immediately die of an arrow right when they arrive
Amazing fight
Ajax rowing would have that ship spinning in circles lol.
😂
I'm almost 30 and I watched it back in 2003 and it's still awesome
Great one
Give him the battle. We'll take the war. Give him too many battles, and the men will forget who's king.
the siege and battle lasted 10 years
Grandissimo film.
4:41 C’mon, that hammer swing and “contact” make Robert De Niro’s curb stomp in The Irishman look realistic.
Good movie
I think around 10 of those Myrmidons died by arrows
A good movie adaptation of one part of the Iliad.
Very good fillm
I like your movie
WOW..film laga super keren Agamemnon vs hector fight the best Actor
« Look at him hawking all the glory. » Every warrior want to be remembered in those times.
I am convinced that the only reason that this movie was made is so that people can tell the difference between Brian Cox and Brendan Gleeson.
😁😁
Balls of fire
Gotta love everyone not even putting their shields up to block arrows..while on the boat/getting off...after being trained with the greatest warrior in that time...what a buncha geniuses...
To be fair though, those shields are pretty damn small! Not able to protect the whole body! (Like the Scutum of the Roman Republic!!)
2:01

The most well written, well acted, well direct and the most realistic adaptation of this classic story in movie history! One of my all-time favorite war films.
this movie is anything but realistic :D
yea pretty close to the real story, imagen they made the actual homer classic to a movie tho
Hardly realistic, since Lysander was a naval commander not Hectors sgt at arms
lol realistic...an "army" is waiting for them and they get fired at by like 10 archers...please. that entire ship would've been riddled with arrows and no one would have made it off of that boat
I see my comment is already generating hate lol to clarify my statement I meant realistic in terms of it being purely a soldiers' war fought by humans with no gods involved. There were fanatical elements involved (specifically by Achilles) for sure. But it was primarily a story told by the humans who fought in it. Rather than by gods who interfered with it.
Saving Private Ryan - BC Edition
God, the choreography of these battle scenes, sword clashing 🗡️ spears pearcing⚜️ arrows flying 🏹 and then there is Achilles 🛡️⚔️.
Brad Pitt was just awesome in this movie 🍿🎥🥰
Anyone looks awesome when they have mindless enemies thrown at them who throw a single sword swing and die immediately. Hollywood likes making trained soldiers look incompetent for the sake of an actor’s image.
PS: Brad Pitt sucks.
God awful . Purely still imagery, zero skill and tactics.
The choreography sucks lmao Everyone is waiting around to get killed.
It is so wrong to put Acilles in the role of just a skilled killer that wanted to be remembered as - who? The killer?! Even his name is distorted as A-Kill-is in this movie!
Bad choreography. It's chaotic and only Achilles is really moving.
How is this any different from the landing at Normandy? History repeats itself.....
So many violent scenes that netflix did not show.
Wat?
Netflix only has the theatrical version which cut out a lot of the violence, this is the director’s cut.
The last trojan Achilles killed here dies to the same move that he catches Hector out with later on.

The bit with the shell of shields was originally known as the Macedonian Phalanx.
No, not really. The Macedonian phalanx's main feature of differentiation from the general phalanx was the extreme length of the spears carried by the Hoplites. These spears are very much normal length and this is a couple of thousand years before Phillip II of Macedon or his son Alexander the Great. Carrying a Macedonian sarissa would make it very difficult to hold your shield over your head for protection and to interlock with your neighbour's shield.
@@aaronleverton4221 at any rate, a good idea never dies!
@@unionrdr No, it was such a good idea that it lasted from c. 2500BCE Sumeria to c. 150BCE the end of the Hellenistic period. But, it changed along the way and it most certainly was not invented by Philip II of Macedon who came along hundreds of years after the Late Bronze Age collapse and likely up to two millennia after the events that may have inspired Homer.
