Trivia:
Wolfgang Petersen dropped the various Greek Gods from the storyline (Zeus, etc) claiming them to be silly and unnecessary to the plot. moreGoofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Paris fights Menelaus and we see Menelaus through Paris' eyes, Paris' helmet appears to have no nose protection. However, the helmet Paris wears in shots portraying him shows a vertical nose protection. This is not a mistake - an object like that slim piece of metal placed directly between the eyes is not visible by the wearer. (Place your finger straight vertically along your nose. If you look straight forward, as Paris was looking at Menalaus, it won't appear to be one object in the middle of your vision, but rather two separate objects, one on either side of your vision.) moreQuotes:
[first lines]Odysseus: [voiceover] Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?

But it's an inspiring tale of men(!) at war in ancient times. The movie, albeit long, moves along a good pace, with mercifully brief romantic and philosophical breaks between the combat scenes. This movie is action, with more than a little thought put into accurately presenting the realities of the tactics used in Greek warfare. Troy is also to be congratulated for not over-armoring the cast like previous Hollywood productions and staying true to the lightness of armor prevalent during the historical period.
Lovers of Homer and Greek mythology may be disappointed but keep in mind this film is about the Trojan War, not the Iliad. This war is epic in scale and isn't about poetry.
Still, it would be great if Sean Bean were given the opportunity to play Odysseus again. Although not on screen much in Troy, his performance is edgy and true to the legends of the cunning king of Ithaca.
