I saw The Odyssey yesterday.
It was quite enjoyable, but the song is better. :p

It was definitely not bad and I’d watch it again but I was expecting an even more deeper interpretation from Nolan, something in the likes how he interpreted the Sirens myth (awesome interpretation) but for the whole movie.

Also I would expect instead trying to show us everything that Homer said to just focus to one part of the book and give us a solid story about that that everyone relate could follow.

The book has very deep images, him returning in his own home as a beggar, him finding his father in the last rhapsody (parallel with Iliad that in the last rhapsody Achilles meet the father of the person he had killed, Hector), what was the leaning of him not returning home for so long, of returning alone stripped of his men and more

I loved how he presented Odysseus going to underworld, but man, it was a huge missed opportunity to not show us the meeting with Achilles or his mother (whom he didn’t know she was dead in the poem until he sees her in the underworld)
