B- Boston Globe Ty Burr "...surprisingly lumbering..." more... C   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "Troy is based on the epic poem The Iliad by Homer, according to the credits. Homer's estate should sue." more... C   Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington "It's stunningly handsome film, with an equally stunning cast and engrossing story..." more... A   Cincinnati Enquirer Margaret A. McGurk "...it does offer plenty of engaging, old-style action, amplified with skillful special effects." more... B- E! Online "It's basically a long-ish, well-crafted epic, thanks to a timeless story that even Tinseltown can't find a way to mess up." more... B   filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "...handsome yet long-winded..." more... B- Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "Wolfgang Petersen's attempt to re-create the legendary siege goes for the epic but fails to establish the intimate." more... C   New York Post Jonathan Foreman "If Troy doesn't put an end to the movie career of Orlando Bloom, there is no justice in movieland." more... C- New York Times A.O. Scott "...for what it is — a big, expensive, occasionally campy action movie full of well-known actors speaking in well-rounded accents — Troy is not bad." more... C+ ReelViews James Berardinelli "...all of the visual majesty that hundreds of millions of dollars can buy cannot obscure the perfunctory and unsatisfying development of the major characters." more... C+ Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...tremendously entertaining..." more... B   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "Troy is all Hollywood and no Homer, but within its limits, it's a vigorous, entertaining movie." more... B+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "Troy is such an exhilarating piece of epic filmmaking that it pulls you in, sweeps you up and works very much as its own thing." more... A- USA Today Claudia Puig "...entertainingly epic eye candy." more... B   * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
