Coming possibly tommorow I will write a review for the sh!t stopper, the horrible, and down right unfaithfully adapted script known as....Odysseus. You see Hollywood is losing ideas rapidly and more and more books/comic books/old movies/tv shows are being made into movie. What better place to seek ideas than Greek Mythology? If you've noticed recently there have been a lot of Greek Mythology movies being made (or have been made). Here are some:
1. Clash of the Titans
2. Percy Jackson
3. Wonder Woman (well the animated one and possibly upcoming live action. Also I plan to write a review for two Wonder Woman scripts I found)
4. God of war
5. Untitled 300 sequel
6. Thor (well that's Norse mythology actually. But since It's mythology then it basicly counts)
7. The script which shall not be named (fine Odysseus)
Before you cry "But, It's the Odyssey. They can't go wrong!". Think again. Not only does the movie start when Odysseus comes home (so no Cyclops, Sirens, Calypso, Circe, Scylla and all the cool stuff), but they literally make up a plot just to force this movie to be longer than two hours. Plus they do the one thing that when I tell you Homer will probably role in his grave. Well I better go finish this god awful script and wonder why they didn't just make a movie off of the Odyssey.
