The Odyssey (1997)
Well done
My English class watched this after reading the poem together. Although long and not always fast-paced, the movie was very well done. The small details, like Athena's striking blue eyes, Hermes's gold gilded curls, and Cyclops's dirty clothes, really added to the movie. I missed having the scene with the Sirens, but I understand that would be challenging to recreate. I recommend it for people with patience and an understanding of the plot line.
Gormenghast (2000)
A truly dismal film
After viewing just the first half hour of this show, I was convinced that it was pointless to watch more. However, I tried to give it another chance by continuing to watch it. Read this list:
-THE CHARACTERS- You were never close to any of the characters, or even felt the tiniest bit sympathetic. They were all petty and unreal. If you'll pardon my language, they just p***ed me off.
-THE PLOT- What plot? The story line didn't make sense. The whole thing was very hard to follow.
-THE SETTING- It really grated on my nerves. One could see the outline around the people, showing that it was a cheesy green screen production. The special effects were just plain BAD.
If you still wish to view this film, I don't pity the four hours of bewilderment you will have.
