The Odyssey (DVD, 2001)

I really like this because of how much I like Greek mythology and I really liked the story of the Odyssey and I fell that even if you never heard of this story you should buy this. This takes the story and tells it very well and brings it to life and you will not forget it. I decided to buy this because the story was so strong and the acting is extremely good.

I don't want reviews sent to me ever again. REPEAT" I don't have time for this and I don't want you sending me your work to do for free................

I have the VCR cassette for this video, but wanted the DVD version too so I ordered it on ebay. The DVD advertised was not the version I got, so I asked for a refund and was given the run-around by the seller who refused to refund me stating that the picture on the DVD case and version date may be different but it is the same Movie. He eventually agreed to refund my money if I shipped the DVD unopened and unused which I did. I didn’t hear from him for a while so I escalated the report to PayPal who claimed I was due a refund, but they needed a delivery confirmation number if they were supposed to help me and I would have to pay the postal cost for returning the product. I explained to the PayPal rep. that I had already shipped the DVD, plus adding delivery confirmation to the order would have meant sending it priority mail, a cost which significantly exceeded the amount I paid for the DVD. PayPal couldn't help me then, so they closed the case. Not surprisingly, the seller also did not receive the package I mailed him. Now I am out of a DVD and I am out of the twenty something dollars I paid for it. I will be closing my eBay account because I won't be buying anything else on eBay too soon. There is no accountability for products sold on eBay and asking a buyer to pay exorbitant return shipping cost that should have been the seller’s responsibility makes no sense especially when the seller is at fault.

it does not play in the USA. this was not stated in description. he got his money i got a dvd that does not work. it was free shipping.

I was not happy with my purchase, so I returned it. That was about a month ago and I have yet to recieve my money back! I doubt I will ever see it.

I bought the dvd from dvd_paranoia and was surprised to find that it came from Greece. It was on a cd-rom disc, not a dvd, and would not play on my computers. Do not buy anything from this company!

I liked that the delivery came on schedule and that the buyer communicated very well. I decided to buy it because I've wanted this movie for a while now.

This movie is the best movie I've seen about A king against the Greek God posiedon. The movie has everything a love story and a whole lot of action. The graphics can compete with those of today as far as some of the monsters go. Overall a great movie.

Won the bid on Dec 18 2008 as of Jan 10 still have not recieved the merchandise
not happy at all and would like refund on item as well as shipping cost. Think twice about buying items/bidding on items out of the US.

This movie is an excellent representation of Homer's story of the Odyssey. A classic tale of a hero fighting to get back to the woman he loves while fighting monsters and visiting strange lands. A great addition to any educational film library!

I ordered the DVD of The Odyssey to use with a unit on ancient Greece in my classroom. I waited and waited, but the DVD didn't arrive. After the time I was asked to wait, I contacted the seller to ask what had happened. I was informed that they had sent the DVD weeks before, but since it never arrived, they would refund my money. They didn't have another copy to send me. I do appreciate that they refunded my money without any hassle, but I still had to go to my local library to have them hunt down a copy I could check out. I still don't really know what happened to my order.

this version on the epic noval is in my opion the best depicted on screen.
great acting and actors. wonderful CGI.

I'm so happy to have found this movie on ebay! My kids needed to do a report on the book and were having a difficult time getting motivated to read it. Watching the movie made it a little more up-to-date and interesting for them.

bought the movie for childrens school studies. enjoyed watching the movie with my children and sharing stories about mythical creatures

This is a great protrayal of Homer's Odyssey. It is a movie that I will keep in my collection and watch frequently.

A movie I saw on TV. I thought the story was told well.
Although the movie is slow in some areas; Overall it is very good.

I 1st saw this movie when it originally aired in 2001. I'm in the process of building a DVD collection & was thrilled to find this! It's one of my favorites!

I loved this movie extremely. No it does not follow along with the story closely, but you still get the important parts of the story through this movie. Excellent choice. Highly recommended.

The movie came in mint condition just as described, shipping was fast and reasonable. Any one who likes Greek Mythology should get this movie.

The DVD was great! It was in excellent shape and played without a hitch. The service to very quick and efficient.

My son age 15 claims that this is the best movie of all times.
A must see! I think he said it a long movie, but I haven't had the chance to watch it yet. It's on the list!

This was one a friend was looking for to give to her son, she couldn't find it anywhere. I found it on ebay, and got it for her to give to him. She was very happy that I found it for her, it was what he wanted for awhile.

I purchased this film for an online literature class. I soon found out that would become one of my favorite films. It is a masterpiece! There are a few differences from the actual text writings, but it is great none-the-less. The graphics are good for the material that is being shot and the time period it is being represented in. Overall I would say to definately buy this film.
