The fable of 'Helen of Troy' gets done within an Indian fantasy world in this very long film. You have a movie that is heavy with CGI and Green screen, and it's not good CGI.
The acting and the story is good, some great production design here, music is brilliant and as nearly always, good songs too, just not that many here though. Plenty of action, and use of slow motion is overused, which drags the film on for three hours. A good load of editing is needed, to be sure.
The motion capture is used quite a bit in this, too much really, and practical effects would of and should of been used here, so there is a lot of style with no substance, hence the problems. Action is not as great as it should of been.
Entertaining as it is, it's flawed and needed polish, but I did enjoy it. Looking at the scores and reviews here, I can understand the disappointment, but I gave it a seven out of ten as it's an different take of 'Troy'. But its' not the epic that it pretends or wants to be. Can say if it's worth seeing, but it beats being bored at home. That's about as fair as I can say.
