Welcome to Rick's Writing Room

Do you really need to issue a spoiler alert with a movie that's based on a book that's over 2000 years old? I don't think so. A good man goes to war. The man tries to come home, but the gods have other plans. Anyone who knows anything about Greek mythology knows those guys sucked.

My movie enjoyment rules are simple...interesting stories, complex characters that I can root for. This movie barely hit those. While this movie wasn't terrible, it wasn't that great either. It failed to live up to the expectations the trailer showed. When I saw the trailer, it looked spooky. A dark entity follows a couple home while on the road.
