    I don't actually remember this and I thought Jason/Jeremy London was in it, but I also remember Isabella Rossellini, so who knows, eh? Um, I didn't really like it that much and I think the effects than the original one.

    Armand Assante makes for a very appealing Odysseus who's off having adventures for many years whilst poor wifey waits at home.

    The writer and director of this screenplay do a great job of bringing this classic tale to the bigscreen with the benefit of late 20th century computer animation and film making.

    I love this movie. It has 2 great lessons.

    1. Do not over do your greatness, even if you are good.
    2. Without any kind of God, mankind is nothing.
