The Odyssey (1997)

I haven't seen acting this bad since Tommy Wiseau's 'The Room', and it wouldn't be super far-fetched to say that The Room's cast had the upper hand. The miniseries has some "dramatic" moments that alongside the poor acting, poor script, and poor direction ends up feeling laughably bad. It isn't so-bad-it's-good like The Room: instead, it's straight up awful. Don't waste your time with this poor adaptation of Homer's Odyssey. Anything but this.

Amazing series!! Too close to homer's to poem too band who don't make the same with the Iliad.

the first virtue - to see it is the best way to determine a child to read "Odissey". not surprising for an Andrei Konchalovski film. but surprising for the great way for give a so faithful adaptation of one of the great books of European culture. and a realistic Ulyses, different by the recipes of Kirk Douglas but giving the traits, vulnerabilities and virtues in the most convincing manner, in a great performance of Armand Assante. a film who impress. scene by scene. because it is real admirable work examples. and amazing science to use the special effects as tool and not as axis defines it in the splendid manner.

The Odyssey is written by a great, poem writer "Homer", he had also written the "Iliad". The movie (or use to be on TV) is educational and enjoyable in some cases, had thoughts that this was made in 1997, and should have better special effects and better fight scenes.The Odyssey is mainly about Odysseus and his great adventures.Odysseus is the King of Ithica, and was the first mortal man to control his passion. He sailed to Troy, where the war was being fought, he had Achilies and many other great fighters by his side. The war took 10 years to finish, but he finished with the Idea of the Trojen Horse. Then when the war was done for good, Odysseus was set sail, to go back to Ithica, to meet his wife Penelope and 10 year old son, Telemachus.During his Journey Home, Penelope lost hope, but waited more years. But the suitors, asked her to marry one of them, they brought gifts, but Penelope said they had to wait. In this case the Suitors were eating Odysseus's food and wine with no respect. Telemachus was outraged of this, so he asked for a meeting, to fight the Suitors out of Ithica. But he didn't succeed, and demanded to get a ship and find Odyssues himself. On the way Athena helped. She said to goto Sparta.Odysseus had trouble coming home, he had blinded Posiden's son Cyclopes, and was trapped with Calypso for 9 years. This was on TV, but it was more like a movie. If your interested in Greek Mythology, then make sure to watch this. --A. Haynes--
