Jean Yothers Orlando Sentinel The Homeric yarn has been well edited and shortened for movie consumption, and the result is a fascinating trip into the age of enchantresses, gods and goddesses and witchcraft. Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine The Odyssey, by Homer, is a lot more interesting than this Italian-made screen version of it... Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Sep 4, 2005 Full Review Bob Bloom Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) A cheesy, but entertaining excursion into mythology, Douglas a bit hammy and Anthony Quinn chews on some fat as well. A guilty pleasure. Rated: 3/5 Dec 19, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A film that follows the structure of The Odyssey would be nice, but this one was a good effort for the time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/02/20 Full Review Audience Member Excellent acting by Douglas, Mangano and Quinn. A tight script that captures all the great moments in iconic encounters. Wonderful light and colors from an unrepeatable past. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review william k Homer's epic trickled down to an adventure suitable for a younger audience; nevertheless, quite entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining sword-and-sandal epic, the success of which helped spawn the popular Italian genre. Kirk Douglas stars as Ulysses, cursed by Neptune to wander the seas, as he desperately tries to return home following the Trojan War. A giant cyclops, tempting sorceresses and, of course, plenty of action make this a genuinely enjoyable peplum entry. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A terrible rendition. Can't watch. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting plot and action!
