I didn't like Odyssey but I very much doubt Musk can make a better version.
What I didn't like had nothing to do with the characters. It was more that all the man eaters looked like video game template characters, in the battle of Troy everything exploded and burnt, there was a lot of light inside of the Trojan horse and Ithaka looked run down. I don't mean run down because of all the "guests", I man it really looks several thousand years older than it was at the time.
The boat scenes, the initial appearance of the Cyclops and the transformation by the witch looked really cool though.
