Watched this a few weeks ago. It was OK. Not sure if it was true to the poem. Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche were also in "The English Patient."

I didn’t like it, just watched it recently.

In my opinion, they made Odysseus out to have some kind of PTSD, he was a broken man who had to be prodded into action.

As I watched it, I thought WTF? This isn’t how I remember Odysseus from the book!

So I went back and re-read the book just to be sure I wasn’t remembering it incorrectly.

I like Ralph Fiennes as an actor, and there were a few things to like about the movie, but it was not what I hoped.

I am a bit discouraged-I love the story, but...I have not seen a version yet that does it justice, and I am not hopeful for the one coming out, although I suspect we may finally see some great looking special effects for the Cyclops and other things.
