Brad Pitt can't pull off the character of Achilles, the killer of men, but he was good in Meet Joe Black. Who pulled it off better? I think Eric Bana (who played Hector) would have played the part better. Pitt standing on a beach like a pretty boy screaming "Immortality" doesn't capture the spirit of Achilles for me.

I've liked most of his movies that I've seen. That being said I don't think troy is his best.
I gotta go with Fight Club, |

Fight Club, A River Runs Through It, Legends of the Fall. In no particular order. I think Brad Pitt is a pretty decent actor in general though. And I did enjoy Troy a lot. Diane Kruger is a smokeshow in that and the fight scenes (esp Achilles and Hector) were good, I would even venture to say that the Achilles/Hector fight was as enjoyable as some of the fight scenes in Gladiator which is another favorite (non Pitt). |

No, it was good but his best work was "Snatch", then "devil's own", then "Meet Joe Black".
In that order.

I really enjoyed Troy, and Pitt did a great job. But he's been in several better movies.
If I had to pick a movie I thought was his best, I'd have to say Legends of The Fall. |

Tie between:
Fight Club Seven Legends of the Fall He had alot of movies better than Troy. I would also put Mr. and Mrs. Smith, 12 Monkeys, A river Runs Through It, and Meet Joe Black well beyond it. He is very good and makes some excellent movies. |

He didnt really display the fits of anger and rage that Achilles was known for, or the petulance when Agammemon took Briseis away......otherwise it was pretty good

I think Eric Bana (who played Hector) would have played the part better. Pitt standing on a beach like a pretty boy screaming "Immortality" doesn't capture the spirit of Achilles for me.
