As a Classics major I can not recommend this movie. It holds no truth to the writings of Apollonius and is another Hollywood recreation of a magnificent Greek Poem. The writers and I call them that loosely stole a great story and changed a classic into a bad tele-novel. This is akin to taking Hamlet, keeping his father alive and Hamlet is just a joyous kid out on a fun adventure. As a Classicist this adaptation disgusts me. If anyone thinks watching this will replace reading the poem then expect a very low grade in your class!!!This is about as far away from the actual story as one could get. The original story is amazing and full of non invented plot twists and turns. The ending is Hollywood at its worst. So sad to see one of Greece's true masterpieces destroyed like this. Note to Hollywood, Why change a story so amazing it has lasted for 2,500 years. To change the story is so sad and just a slap in the face of a wonderful writer.
