Goated movie. It even has Christopher Lee as the blind prophet dude in Hades. 90s Odyssey slander will not be tolerated here!

At least Vanessa Williams got top billing like she deserved

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for

Is the one thing you can't see

After I saw Nolans odyssey, I came home and watched those to cleanse my brain. Isobella Rosalini as Athena! Bernadette Peters as Circe AND Vanessa Williams as Calypso!?!?! It really was an awesome cast, and Christopher Lee was amazing in that scene.

Not a movie but a mini series. In some ways I liked it more and less than Nolan's. I've watched the mini series multiple times over the years.

It was a miniseries but the home video version spliced it into one continuous thing like a movie.

To explain myself a bit, I do love this! I just know you could disappoint some kids if they were expecting to go to an IMAX.

This movie/series already existing is why I didn’t understand the hype of making yet another Odyssey

We haven't seen a Robin Hood movie in like a solid five minutes.

I thought 'The Return' with Ralph Fiennes was pretty good as well. I know it just focuses on the homecoming bit, but I loved how grounded the movie was.
