I liked Troy. It was much better than Gladiator.
I don't even know how to respond to that.
Russel Crowe is believable as a Roman Gladiator. Brad Pitt, who seems like he spends the better part of his day getting his tips frosted and oiled by a guy named Sven, isn't even remotely believable as Achilles - The World's Greatest Warrior - not in this dimension, or any others in which I'm familiar.
