What viewers say about Troy

Viewer reaction
“"Where does it end?" -- "It never ends." If Homer's mythical epic "The Iliad" is based on a factual story, that story is magnificently depicted…”
Viewer reaction
“Now then, where do we start? On the plus side, this is one of the more intelligent applications of CGI in an historical drama setting…”
Viewer reaction
“It's yours, take it. Trojan prince Paris is not only having an affair with Spartan Menelaus' woman, Helen. He also lures her away to live…”
