In my opinion the movie,"Troy:The Odyssey" was not a good production. The movie was unpredictable, but not in a good way. There were major differences in characters and the roles that they played. Also, the sequence of events and time lapse of everything was bad and made the movie less interesting. The fact that the producer tried to add so much drama took away from the drama that the story itself already created. I would not recommend "Troy:The Odyssey" to the people who are very serious about Greek mythology because this selection mixes it up in so many different ways. Actually, i wouldn't recommend the movie to anyone unless you are seriously bored.

If you are into Greek myths, you probably are aware of the story. Now this sets or begins with the end of the Troy story and how that long war came to an end. As a Greek I am very well aware of the story, but I don't want to spoil or talk too much about that or how this does not really live up to that grand and dramatic story.
Its failings are mostly clear because of lack of money, but also because of lack of charisma imho. At least they call him Odysseus and not Olysses - no offense to any latin speaking folk. Really nothing much to see here and while it's been a while since I personally read a book, it does make more sense to go back to the source material, rather than to watch this

Amateur hour on a cheap budget that shouldn't even be considered a B movie. I actually feel sorry for those that wasted their time producing it. The 10 star ratings are highly misleading. If you haven't seen it already, may I highly recommend the 97' TV Mini Series/ Movie (nearly 3 hrs long), "The Odyssey" with Armand Assante as "Odysseus".

I don't know why someone would want to punish me like this with this film. The movie should be renamed into something like,
"Troy: The Odyssey - Actors acting for the first time"
"Troy: The Odyssey - Actors acting for the first time"

Ten minutes into this I kept thinking it was like a Sharknado/Zoombeavers flick. So bad it's funny. But, sadly, they were really trying to make a serious movie with people that CANNOT act. I mean, I've been to high school productions that blew this away. Agamemnon acts like he just got off the set of WWE. And they storm Troy with about 15 extras. Bad. Just bad everything. Watch anything else but this.

Did not watch 'Troy the Odyssey' with high expectations. It looked horrid and some of it sounded ridiculous. Saw it however out of curiosity, as part of my low-budget film quest (yes, have got a good deal of quests going on, some of them completest ones) and especially because the story/poem is so timeless.
A poem/story that deserved an infinitely better film than 'Troy the Odyssey'. It really does Homer an injustice (he would organise a protect if he saw this) and manages to be even worse than it looked and even more of a mess than indicated in the premise. That it is not a waste of a good concept film made me less annoyed than some other films seen recently. My annoyance though is aimed at how poorly done in every single way 'Troy the Odyssey' is.
Nothing good going on here. The acting lacks any kind of passion or emotion, even skill or direction. No exceptions here, even the lead character who actually is one of the worst examples.
'Troy the Odyssey' uncharismatic, wimpy and annoying character writing and writing that is far too excessively ridiculous to be guilty pleasure cheese and too awkward and dull to be tongue in cheek works against them. As well as non-existent direction.
Direction that fails to convey any urgency, tension, fun, suspense or emotion in the numerous scenes that need them. The action-oriented scenes are the complete anti-thesis of exciting, are poorly filmed and looks so awkward in the choreography. The whole story is just lifeless, completely fails to make any sense at all and on the wrong side of daft that it's insultingly ridiculous. Nothing suspenseful or fun here.
Visually, 'Troy the Odyssey' looks cheap as sin, with an overuse of truly risible special effects that never gels with the setting or looks real, dizzying camera work and editing and shoe-string budget production and costume design. Faring least bad is the music, which at least tries to appeal to the ear and give a little urgency, not a compliment sadly because one doesn't remember it and it's often not placed that well.
Overall, far from furious and as the opposite of good as one can get. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I was browsing on Netflix. The acting is so amazingly bad. I mean who invests their money to make such awful crap. And how do they make money? I wish I could give a movie zero stars.
Warning: The only reason the cumulative rating is 2.6 and not a zero is one person gave it a ten. I am sure it is someone associated with it.

This is the Trojan War and The Odyssey as taken from the movies. You have Achilles a la Brad Pitt in Troy, you have the kraken from Clash of the Titans, and the costumes reminded me of The 300. Everything, from the CGI to the costumes, acting, sets, and script were horrible. This is not a bad movie that is funny and enjoyable; this is simply bad, truly a waste of a viewer's time.

Low-budget wonder. I have been reading some of the other reviews and can see that most of those people have been watching the studio huge budget movies and trying to make them comparable to this. I am amazed that on a small budget someone could make something as true to the actual writings of Homer as this. I think this should be reviewed only by people who have read the Iliad and are in the spirit of that writing. Kudos to those who put their time and effort into this excellent low-budget film I believe many people will follow in your footsteps. We are sick of studio cookie-cutter garbage.

It's easy to make a good movie with a budget of $ 150 million. This movie is not so bad considering that its budget is $ 500,000. Let me see the critics who will make anything with so little money ...

Even having only seen the first 10 minutes there were major flaws in the argument right from the begning, such as:
Also the characters do not feel authentic at all, the acting and costumes are bad. With all this and the story being so wrong with respect to the one by Homer, it is difficult to imagine whom this movie would please.
- Helen was the wife of Menelaus, brother of Agamemnon, who doesn't even appear, not of Agamemnon himself.
- The war in Troy lasted for 10 years, in the movie appears to be less than a day.
- Circe was never in Troy at all, she lived at an island where Odysseus later stops.
Also the characters do not feel authentic at all, the acting and costumes are bad. With all this and the story being so wrong with respect to the one by Homer, it is difficult to imagine whom this movie would please.

I am Greek and I was thought Iliad and oddysey in ancient Greek back in high school. This movie is garbage. It was a disgrace to me watching this thing.
I won't even go into the wrong story plot scenes. Just don't watch it and waste your time.!

Where to start this review well first off the acting is horrible you have so many different voice accents in this movie. And the acting is really bad there are some individuals that have acted and other movies and television shows who should be doing a good job but are not. The only thing it actually is good is that a lot of the men are good looking and that's really all this movie has going for it.

This Movie is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. The acting is horrible, the fighting is horrible, the story is horrible. The movie had to be made with drug money an the lowest budget possible. I mean they must have found volunteers for everything, people with no experience, not even high school plays.
There is no way this movie made any money, besides the drug money they laundered thru it.
Unless you enjoy slow, cruel and usual punishment, do not watch this horrible movie.

Really bad acting from everyone on screen (yes, it's that terrible--Agamemnon was apparently portrayed by an evil, overgrown yeti of some sort) , bad dialogue, bad (make that hideous) casting, bad direction, bad costumes, bad cinematography, you name it. It's as if no one involved in any way with this production had a lick of pride in what they were doing except to cash a paycheck they didn't deserve.

I think it's a great movie, the subject is great, but some people are complaining, I dont understand why. If Brad Pitt was in this movie, I am sure that everyone will vote better, I watched it with my daughter and we both enjoyed the film, thanks to the producers and players,Well done

The film is based on a Greek legend loosely, but it's really not as bad as other reviewers say it is. The acting isn't too brilliant but it's a low budget film, and it hasn't got megastars or fantastic top CGI. It's more like a dramatized version of the epic. Certain things are very different to the actual myth itself, because it's poetic license and all films do this. While the character of Circe is changed in the film, I suppose they didn't want another island queen for it does in the original story with Calypso and the island. They made this Circe a mortal priestess warrior woman type Amazon. Parts of the film is quite silly and others are entertaining. While not the best version of the myth, it's not a terrible film either.

Come on, who actually thought casting these nuts was a good idea? My two year old nephew could act better than the so-called "actors and actresses" featured here.

I got through five minutes of this, and that is all you need to see how bad it is.
If you're going to attempt a film about Troy or any epic subject, you'd better know what you are doing, and that must include a budget that reflects the challenges of such a project.
The costumes were the first red flag, they looked like they were thrown together with no regard for authenticity of any kind. 'Details' were amateurish and immediately distracted from what was happening.
Dialogue was just bad, with modern expressions that just made me cringe.
The whole idea of a movie is to suspend disbelief and to be immersed in the story. This was not possible with this level of incompetence.
There are far better treatments of this epic story and far better ways to spend your time.
Run away.
