The last scene in Troy was fucking phenomenal.

Hell, every scene in Troy was amazing.

The aura of Agamemnon standing and waiting when the gate of Troy opened was unmatched.

I think him being this faceless towering leader throughout the film is a really good choice.

And Lupita was great in both her roles. Both of which were small and different, but she nailed then.
