I'm not really sure what I think of this video. I was either plagued with A.D.D. when I watched it, or it's just a really slow movie. Either way, I found it hard to pay attention to, despite all of the gorgeous naked Euro men.
The story takes place in 1497, but the box says it takes place in the 16th century. Either way it was a really long time ago. I have to say, Men of Odyssey truly went all out to make the costumes and scenery realistic; there aren't any tin foil horses or plastic swords here, even the location is perfect. The problem begins with the music. It's not your average porn soundtrack, which is usually a good thing. Instead, it was a sleepy tune with a recorder solo that shattered my eardrums.
My second complaint would be that all of the dialogue is voiced-over and poorly. I think the moans and groans were too, and that's just wrong. But besides all of that, the sex was somber, dull, mechanical and a little too orchestrated at times. Personally, I don't get it; this video had all of the right elements; story, location, costumes, gorgeous men and big hard cocks, but very little heat.
There were a couple of moments in some of the early scenes that looked like they were going to get hot, but they quickly fizzled out. Even the final orgy was passionless, although they were more creative with the sexual positions. Overall, the men weren't connecting with each other, so the sex was average yet somewhat cold.
Like all reviews, this is based on my opinion, so don't totally discount it because of me. If you're really into Euro studs and you like stories, then check it out. You might see it totally different then I did.
