It’s a very Nolan-esque telling but a faithful telling. Only thing it didn’t really land was Odysseus’ own hubris. And I wish they had done a more faithful version of the Cyclops story.

OP is a shitlib Jew who has been spamming nonstop in favor of this movie for days even before supposedly watching it. Even if this post is not flame, his opinion is not exactly impartial.

Love this 70 IQ poast of his from 3 days ago defending the tranny nig casting

He somehow managed to make it into a mystery that’s revealed in a final staccato series of shots that ties back to the destruction of Troy as some kind of original sin. It’s very Nolan-esque. But even he only used cuts every fourth second in this film. There are some shots that last for nearly seven seconds.

Hoping to see it tomorrow friend. Maybe not be HBO Rome caliber, but I'm glad Hollywood is dipping their toes back into classics.

Troy was terrible compared to the Odyssey. Odyssey at least kept the Gods more involved.

Metacritic has the movie at a 5.3/10 user score, Letterboxd has it at 4.3 and IMDB has it at 8.3/10. Rotten Tomatoes has something weird going on.

I liked it, it's visually stunning.

Wish they would've showed Odysseus dicking down Circe and Calypso. He fucked the shit out of both of them for years, had kids with Circe, and then was just like "welp ... I better head on out." Could've been home after like 2 years.

The final slaughter scene was weak I thought. In the book I remember him and his son basically fighting back to back and just pwning the fuck out of everyone.

New York Review of Books offers this long take. tl;dr: Nolan does a great job but remakes Odysseus as a Nolanesque protagonist rather than Homer's version.
