ummmmmm
Okay, I may or may not have some original things to point out about this movie. First off the only reason I gave it one star (besides the fact you can't give it zero) is because it was wikid funny because of how stupid it was, and because Mr. Noteboom did the Telemachos voice (cranky, whiny, english school boy voice). Alright, Poseidon, the "god of the wine-dark sea" creative use of quotes from Homers smash hit epic, but still very stupid. A rolling face on a wave that doesn't crash for three minutes.......NO BAAAAAAD. Lets see theres Scylla, I am helping to make a better Scylla then the one in the movie.....well it wasn't that bad......but still ours is better. Then there was the whole thing with Charybdis being AFTER Scylla, instead of beside it, I mean, it....kinda ruins a bit of the effect. I would also like to quote Mr. Noteboom and say that when you are begging for Odysseus' men to be sucked up by Charbdis...sumthing is drastically wrong! I have to admit Aeleous is awesome, but he is dipicted way wrong, hes still awesome though. Oh and what about Penelope testing Odysseus, that is so great, and they didn't even put it in there. Finally, how do I put this lightly......I can't they need to learn to pronounce names the same EVERY Time, it bugs me when all of a sudden Telemachos is being pronounced Telemacus and then telemauchos........just aint doin it for me. Also theres this big burly greek warrior just getting back from the Trojan war, and hes using phrases like "rosy fingertipped dawn" and all of these poetic terms.....lets just say he must feel very secure in his manlyhood. Anyway horrible movie, don't watch it expecting to be seeing what goes on in the book in a good way. If you want a good laugh and to be able to complain that they totally DID NOT do justice to the book, watch it.....maybe you'll be able to get a few laughs. See ya'll lata!
