...A brilliant film with amazing special effects and action. . . . . . . . . . . .
Everyone has heard of the epic and legendary battle of troy. In the film it brings the battle to life making it feel like you are actually there. The film entices you with a excellent cast including Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom. In this film you get to see the full picture from both of the opposing sides creating an amazing atmosphere as you don't know who you want to win the battle. As both sides have there good and evil.
The DVD it self has a few features including running commentary with the director. He gives his views and opinions on the film.
I would totally advice you to buy this DVD. I feel 15 is a suitable but that you could find the dvd cheaper somewhere else.
please rate...

About The DVD
This DVD consists of three actresses from Coronation Street talking you through various routines designed to help you stay fit. The running time of this DVD is 59 minutes but you will not be working out for the whole running time as there is also some talking involved when they are explaining how to do certain routines. The thing that first attracted me to this DVD is that the three actresses from Coronation Street are normal girls, the same age as me and I figured if they are able to learn the routines then it cant be that hard. I also liked the idea of being able to do the DVD in my own home rather than having to attend any classes.
What Does The DVD Contain?
First off, the girls introduce them selves and then introduce their trainer who is called Troy.
The DVD starts with a basic warm up which lasts for about 5 minutes...

DVD Description
With soaring photography that circles from above then swoops in for the action, TROY is Wolfgang Petersen's majestic presentation of the classic Greek legend. It tells the story of an epic battle over Helen (Diane Kruger), the queen of Sparta, who is kidnapped by her lover Paris (Orlando Bloom), the prince of Troy. This infuriates Helen's husband Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), whose brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox) convinces him to invade Troy and kill Helen. They recruit Achilles (Brad Pitt), the best warrior in Greece, whose bravery, quick feet, and remarkable swordsmanship (not to mention tan biceps, short kilts, and blond locks) have earned him a reputation that is almost as impressive as his ego. Achilles agrees to fight for Sparta, if only for the fame it will bring him. Even Achilles' mother, in a touching scene, advises him to forget mortal achievements and become a hero who will be remembered throughout history. Along with the invasion of Troy, a series of duals must also be fought: Paris, who is heartbreaking in his lovestruck naivety, must go up against the enraged Menelaus; and Achilles must settle a score with Hector (Eric Bana), who is fiercely dedicated to protecting his brother Paris and their father, the frail king Priam (Peter O'Toole). When the war finally ignites in its massive proportions, the action is awesome. And as the increasingly dramatic events play out, TROY earns its own timeless reputation among other action-adventure epics such as GLADIATOR and SPARTACUS.
