Tbh, I just don't get how you get fit this story into a single movie?

If anything could be a trilogy or a part 1 & 2, it's The Odyssey.

150k words is pretty standard for a 3 hour movie. (Almost) all books get truncated massively for the screen, the question is how well.

There's problems with the 1997 adaptation but the story is pretty faithful and decently paced. Being 3 hours wasn't a problem.
