Assante was pretty good as Odysseus, and his final return and vengeance his home's enemies was awesome to see. Christopher Lee as Tiresias was a neat cameo. I think it was one of the first features that wasn't too family-friendly (orgies, monsters), though it was fairly faithful to Greek values.

Late to the party, but actually canadian TV mini series The Odyssey (1992-1997) is actually very good and one of my favourites. Its only 2 episodes, each about 1.5-2hrs. Highly recommend it.
The 1997 adaptation with Armand Assante was fairly good. Decent writing, superb cast including the great Irene Papas. The FX were kind of low-budget but the costume and set designs were well-done.
The Odyssey is one of the most beloved stories in Western literature, and many movies have borrowed from its plot. Notably, the Coen Brothers’ O Brother Where Art Thou? loosely retells Odysseus’ story against the backdrop of the Great Depression.
The adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey (Ulysses is the Latin translation of Odysseus), features some pretty cheesy special effects, but is still nonetheless a surprisingly literate version. Although condensed, the film stays mostly true to the spirit of the original work.
