Odysseus's AdventureThis movie is a exciting adventure thriller. The graphics of this movie are so amazing and the sound is really spectacular. The way the monsters looked and moved was so life like it was scary. The monsters were not the only thing that were life like. The gateway to the under world was so cool looking. I think it was cool how they had the lava river down there. One of my favorite parts in this movie was when Achilles through the spear at Hector. My most favorite part is when they were in the cave with the three headed monster, and the monster kept eating Odysseus's men. My favorite character was Aeolus god of the wind. Aeolus was a small bald headed man that wanted to help Odysseus and his men come home. The worst part of this movie was when they saw their home land Ithaca but the crew of Odysseus opened the bag of bad wind and they were blown off to another island. This movie was a little hard to understand and it was hard to keep up with the plot because of all the places they went. Another character that I thought was cool was Telemachus, He was the son of the mighty Odysseus. Telemachus wanted to find his father so when he was 17 he went to Sparta to ask the king where his father was. The King of Sparta told Telemachus the his father was dead. Telemachus returned home not knowing that his father had returned while he was gone. Then after they were united Athena turned Telemachus into an old man so no one would him. Then Telemachus and Odysseus planned a way to get the men out of his house. The maid's locked the men in a room alone with Telemachus and Odysseus and well there was a bloody battle.Odysseus returned to his normal self again and ruled his kingdom forever.This movie is a historical fiction movie, Some facts were real others were amazingly off. Some things that I saw in this movie ,maded me believe that they were back in ancient Greece times, while others looked so fake "I could see the strings(expression)." This movie had it's up's and down's but every movie does that is what makes a great movie.The End
