    Chris Nolan's - The Odyssey.

    Can't blame you for not reading this whole thread, but 'historic' characters? What? Must have been traumatising watching Troy (2004)?

    Also, there was no 'he' that wrote anything. What we call 'Homer' was in reality a large group of different people who cobbled together verbal re-tellings of poems over centuries. One of them used the term λευκόχερη (leukōlenos) once. For context, Helen is also described as having 3 different...

    Series [Please do NOT post any spoilers] - Season VI

    When the show was announced, I remember reading something online about judging it based on whether they 'show' the opening line or have some cringy exposition.

    Wiiliam Gibson's Neuromancer - Apple TV Series.

    Dunno. Both Hyperion and The Culture seem like it would be near-impossible to do well. I'm fine with them not ever being adapted.

    Chris Nolan's - The Odyssey.

    Very well. Like the many adaptations that have been done for the story, I think this one made some sensible changes to keep it tight and on track. I especially liked the way the sequences with action in them weren't written or filmed like 'action' sequences in the modern sense. But more how...

    Chris Nolan's - The Odyssey.

    Watched it on IMAX. Very, very good. Well worth watching on IMAX if you get the chance. The performances in general are very impressive, but I think Nolan's excellent directing comes in when you look at how many of those performances (excepting Damon) don't actually get much screen time...

    Maybe if you cry about it more the reviewers will change their reviews to be biased the way you prefer? Alternatively, you could just not care what any reviewers think. Read/watch them for what they are.
