Odysseus

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2004)

What did you think of Sean Bean's portrayal of Odysseus (aka Ulysses) in the movie? I do appreciate Bean for his work in 007 Goldeneye (he can pull off a Russian accent quite well) and in Macbeth with Samantha Bond (though my favorite Macbeth is and always will be Ian McKellen.) Bean is not my favorite actor, but I do enjoy watching him and I was certainly pleased when he was cast as Odysseus (my favorite character in Homer's epics.) Naturally I was expecting Odysseus to get at least some of the glory in the movie (whose idea was it to make the horse, anyway??? Humph!!) Never mind the fact that this movie now decks the top of my "DUMB" list, we could have gotten at least a total of more than six minutes of Odysseus?! Who does Peterson think he is? What the hell is going on here???
