SEAN BEAN SHOULD BE IN 'ODDYSEUS' or 'THE ODDYSEY'

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2004)

This was not as good as I'd hoped it would be; BRad pitt was good, Eric Bana was good, however the stand out performance was that of SEAN BEAN who is well known for his workmanlike performances in films such as RONIN with Deniro and Jean reno and as a Poignantly powerful but confused BOROMIR (one of the most human characters in LOTR (if only for his human failings- the characters that is)). In this his (Sean Beans) Odyseus is a wiley warrior who is (almost) psychoanalytical in his knowledge and understanding; it was a masterful performance. I really would be pleased if some one were to make a movie about Odyseus for somewhere between $20 to $50 million ('cause it wouldn't be fair to rest the weight of $100 million or even $200 million on Seans shoulders) with SEAN as the Star/Lead and to make sure it will be a success make it a rollicking psychological action adventure film. I think it would be cool too to see Sean Bean, patrick Swayze and Michael Keaton in one movie as 3 brothers in some sort of action adventure film. Either way I Know that his performance in Troy was one that I greatly appreciated and identified with.
