Product: The Odyssey [VHS] (1997)
Rating: 5.0
Destined to be a classic for years to come!
The movie was superb. Although it may have not 'totally' followed the story line, I belive it left the story line slightly only to add emphases to make the viewer feel the pain, joy, sorrow that they were to have felt on there journey.Other then that I do belive this movie did a great job following the story line from the greek classic by Homer, but also at the same time while not only great viewing, but really taught something as well as if reading the book. To know no matter how great one is, there is always one more powerful, even if it is a force unseen. 'to them the gods which Odysseus said he didnt need anymore at first only to be plagued by the cure of Posiden to suffer and never see His beloved home again'.Well worth watching for entertainment and also educational too. Youll easily find yourself watching this movie a few times.Armand Assante was a great choice to play Odysseus who plays the part flawlessly, but Vanessa Williams as Calypso... >:)~ *Whistles* enough said on this.Great movie to treasure =)
