Greekapalooza- A SwordandSandalthon

In prepping for Nolan's The Odyssey I have been watching all movies about Greek myths and heroes lately. Some I haven't seen in 20 years or more and some about 5 years. I'll hopefully get them all in before the release date. Add any that I might have missed. Roman themed movies are NOT in the rotation although those featuring Greek heroes may be allowed.
I started with animation and moved on to film.
Great Greek Myths - animated on Prime
Blood of Zeus- animated onNetflix
Jason and the Argonauts
Hercules 1958
Hercules 2014
Clash of the Titans 1981
Clash of the Titans 2010
Wrath of the Titans
Troy
300
300 Rise of an Empire
Immortals
Television
The Odyssey 1997
Still to watch:
Hercules Unchained 1959
Helen of Troy 1956
Ulysses 1954
The Return 2024
Percy Jackson movies (been a few years)
Alexander 2004
Jason and the Argonauts TV miniseries
Contemplating the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad but wanted to keep it Greek centric even though it contains elements Greek mythology.

Seriously though, it's a good movie.

If Nolan wanted a 'modern take' he could have just made a big screen version of KAOS (Netflix) . Sort of like American Gods, but set in Greece.
Oh well.
Oh well.

Immortals
I’m a big fan of this one. Really liked how they portrayed the gods and the titans. Fight scenes were well done and Mickey Rourke played a great villain. I just cringed thinking about how he welcomed the Greek traitor into his army. Cavill was in good shape, but he looks anorexic compared to his physique after Superman. Wish we could have gotten a sequel.

I really liked immortals as well. I think the story was a bit convoluted but nevertheless enjoyable. The director was obviously a fan of 300 as some of the settings and shots were gorgeous and very artistically inspired. i thought Luke Evans was a little young for Zeus and lacked the necessary gravitas but also how beautiful was Frieda Pinto. Even though it was an invention of the film the Epirus Bow was kind of cool.
