I am a big fan of extended and director's cuts and this is one of them. It's no 'Lord of the Rings' or 'Kingdom of Heaven' cuts, but it did liven up the story a bit. There are more action clips incorporated into the already existing ones (Warning to parents: the scenes are more graphic than before and). The extra clips go into the lives of the characters more, which is always a bonus. If you haven't seen 'Troy' already, this is something you would want to buy, but if you have, it is a great addition to your collection.

Had this on Dvd, and knew I was going to upgrade some day. It’s not knock your socks off to much better, but still an improvement. I enjoyed the extra minutes in this. It’s sprinkled throughout the movie, a few seconds to couple minutes on some scenes through the movie. It rounds out the movie more I think, and compliments it.

I have several versions of this classic Greek Myth; really was impressed with this movie version. Directors cut is even better. Have been replacing old DVD with Blue Rays, to update my collection. Extras are interesting!

As every movie that tries to contemplate the work of Homer, this one does not come close to the actual book (as most movies based on books), but it has great scenes and the story line is good.

Great movie. I bought this as a gift. Even though it's online, my friend likes having a blu ray copy on hand.

Anchored by spectacular performances and stunning action scenes Troy is and unforgettable experience.

Bought as a gift for a friend who loves watching movies. Movie arrived within two days. Friend was elated.

This is by far one of Brad Pitts best films. He really goes all out and dedicates himself to the role.

I love the directors cut, i enjoyed the original but this one is much better

Awesome movie about the battle for Troy, Trojan Horse and top rated actors

A good classic movie that looks really nice in HD.

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.

Great action movie for my grandson. He watches the movie often.

Troy is of reference quality on Blu-ray. Each color is reproduced with stunning clarity and lifelike accuracy. The greens of the foliage seen throughout the picture from time to time are also faithfully reproduced. Detail is very high. Characters look strikingly real and their clothing and armor look great.Nearly as good as the video quality is the PCM uncompressed 5.1 soundtrack that accompanies the film. Finally breaking away from their norm of releasing Blu-ray discs with only a lossy Dolby Digital track, the inclusion of the PCM track hopefully represents a new direction with the Warner Bros.

This film came out not long after the Lord of the Rings. I enjoyed it immensely at the time. After seeing Rings, I was ready for a epic scale film about the Battle Of Troy. I enjoy much of Brad Pitt's work and his performance in Troy is one of my favorites. He is intense, intimidating, and when he fights, he is an butt kicker, and pulls it off perfectly. There are times in the film when Pitt looks like a Greek statue. I thoroughly enjoyed the extra scenes in the movie. I tend to prefer Director's/Extended Cuts, and I do prefer the Director's Cut over the theatrical version. Recommended to all

I like this movie very much. The critics gave it a bad rap. The only problem I have with the extended cut is that the CGI blood looks pretty fake. But the copy of the film and the extras are all excellent. The best part is the fight between Brad Pitt's Achilles and Eric Bana's Hector. The highlight of the movie. I didn't mind that the Gods were mostly left out, it gave it a more realistic feel. Brian Cox is as usual, tremendous.

I really enjoyed Troy and the fact that there seems to be a little more with the directors cut. It has a lot of well know actors and has some good camera work to back them up. I really liked the price that I found with it and it had an added perk. It's a good movie to watch and you'll probably revisit it from time to time. There's a lot of good that comes with the movie and a few holes as well but that may just be me. It's a fun movie to watch.

Normally I don't recommend additional releases of the same movie unless upgrading your definition however this unrated director cut surprised me, and even better made the movie more in-depth and exciting although raising the acceptable watching age in the process. So even if you own this on bluray, BUY THIS VERSION ONLY AT BESTBUY.COM You won't be caught with your shield down if you do so!

I have watched this movie a few times, over the years, and it NEVER gets old. This was a very well cast movie. Many big names. I especially liked Brad Pitt in his role.....a perfect choice to play Achilles. Great special effects, great battle sequences, and some great acting. I think I may have to watch Troy this weekend.

Despite the inexplicable changes wrought to Homer's original tale, this movie succeeds as a big-budget, Hollywood adaptation of the Iliad...for the most part. Ignore the "damsel in distress" plot line and focus instead on the fine performances of Brad Pitt and Eric Bana as Achilles and Hector, as well as the production value and overall look and feel of this interpretation of the classical material.
