Homer's Home-Run!
The Odyssey was a thoroughly enjoyable film experience.It not only adhered faithfully to Homer's epic poem, but it brought that work to life in the most amazing ways. The director's attention to detail was awesome and the special effects were done flawlessly!My favorite performance was by Armand Assante as Odysseus. He gave a wonderful portrayal of a man who was,at first,arrogant,then defiant and,finally,humbled by the gods.The ending is glorious but you'll just have to watch it yourself to find out what becomes of Homer's hero.
