Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

christosyr As Greek this film is a disgrace and insult Homer and the Greeks! Why I bother watch it?

Paul Magne Haakonsen Truth be told, then I had no particular expectations to this movie. And I will say that the movie is entertaining enough, but it could have been better.The story is a fairly common one; Odysseus sailing for Ithica and finding the Isle of Mist along the way. Yadda, yadda, yadda... Fairly average storyline with nothing overly impressive or new here.As a movie of this type, trying to tell an epic tale of ancient history, the movie doesn't really manage to punch through and make a lasting mark or statement. It sort of never rises beyond mediocrity, which was a shame.The effects in the movie were adequate, well most of them at least. The creatures were hilariously fake to look at. They looked like horribly fake rendered CGI rejects. Had the special effects team worked harder on this, the movie could have been more enjoyable. It is sort of difficult to take something serious when it looks like something that came out of an early 1990's PC game, back when 3D graphics were still an eyesore.I will say that the props and wardrobe people actually did a great job in the movie, because the costumes and garments were really nice to look at; great details and it did seem valid enough.Acting-wise, then the movie wasn't all that noticeable. Perhaps because the characters were fairly mundane and generic, not really displaying much personality of difference from one another. It should be said that Arnold Vosloo (playing Odyesseus), Randal Edwards (playing Homer) and Stefanie von Pfetten (playing Persephone) were actually doing their part to carry the movie nicely.If you enjoy classic tales of this genre, then there are other movies that deal with the same tale and subject that does it better than this one. I am sure that if you are a hardcore fan of ancient history and legends, then you will find some enjoyment and amusement in this movie. For us who just want to watch it for the entertainment of a movie, then "Odyesseus & the Isle of Mists" turns out to be fairly mediocre and it is not the type of movie that is likely to be on the watch-list a second time around.

TheLittleSongbird Actually I was using a bit of hyperbole, it wasn't as atrocious as I made it out to be in the summary, but to be honest it is still pretty bad. Some of the scenery and costumes are decent, some of the monsters are interesting and Arnold Vosloo is imposing and charismatic enough as Odysseus. However, the story is hackneyed and is very uneven in pace, the dialogue is a vast majority of the time absolutely abysmal, the direction is heartless, the pace is poor and the acting with exception of Vosloo is laughable particularly with Homer and the goddesses. While the ending comes across as rather cheesy. To conclude, pretty bad but there are some minor redeeming qualities. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Ikoltom The movie kicks off with a lot of promise, and when I first came across it, I thought hooray another Homeric epic. The cast look good, at first, very Homeric, ironically only Homer looks out of place, more suited perhaps for a high school American pie movie, than a Greek epic. What is more annoying is how much he sucks up so much to the heroes, who don't do anything that heroic anyway. The movie totally lacks in pace and fails to live up to its initial promise. You sit through the movie waiting for the monsters to attack, but when they do they are a bunch of poor special effects. Clearly, the spending on special effects was really kept at a minimal. And the dialogue...don't even get me started. Who wrote that stupid script, at some point the dialogue gets so poor, you would think each character is reciting a nursery rhyme. And just who brought the idea of vampires in a Homeric story? For me, the movie just has nothing going on.
