Great Movie!
I thought that the movie, The Odyessy, was fantastic! It showed many details about that period in time. I thought that the way they dressed looked great. The story was followed well and stuck to the topic. My favorite character was Penelope(Greta Scacci). Somehow she knew her long lost love, Odysseus (Armand Assante), would come back some day. I thought that the specials effects were splendid. They looked so real that I though they were! The best example of this is when Odysseus and his men were told to go through a cave by an old dead prophet. It had a three-headed monster named the Silla. It ate some of the men and a cute little goat. When they reached the end, they came upon a waterfall. At the bottom, there was a monster named the Cariptus.It hid beneath the water. It ate all of the men except for lonely Odysseus. He drifted off in the water. That was also my favorite part. I think that the director, Andrei Assante did a excellent job making the story fun to watch. Though it was a bit gory in the end, I loved it. Everyone should see it.
