A bad Nolan movie is still very watchable. It should be fine.

I won't be watching this show, that's for sure.

For the costumes alone, it they used designs modelled on what has been found from back then, the show would have had some crazy, interesting armour.

Looks like Nolan went super woke too.

You might as well make a yellow skinned bastard mongrel like Kwon into Odysseus

Will give this a pass.

Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Limits Comments on X Amid ‘Woke’ Casting Controversy

However, some casting decisions have sparked criticism online, with some conservative commentators accusing the film of pushing "woke" ideology. The backlash has centered largely around the casting of Nyong'o as Helen of Troy and false claims surrounding Page's role.

Now, it appears discussion surrounding the film on X has been limited. A look at the movie's official account shows that replies have been restricted, with a message appearing under each tweet in the comments section that reads, "only some accounts can reply" alongside a lock symbol.

It will not. I will check it out - Nolan has a great record.

And, I am anti- progressive liberal, anti-democrat, anti-woke horseshit as much as the next guy. However, I heard non-stop how Ellen Page was Achilles, read all the uproar, and it turns out she's not cast as that.

Same I’ll see it even though I’m aligned with all that and hate some because my experience is influencers in the right lie about these things for clicks plus I’m so movie starved that I can cut a little slack.

Wouldnt even pirate it if someone paid me.

Influencers in general do this. I've seen right wing dumbasses fall for more troll accounts than I can remember.

However, the left is worse.

Also, gayer than being "influenced".

I will politely disagree. I just thought it was fine.

First off - Good Will Homer. No accent, just Damon acting like Damon.

Second, it just wasn't really epic. Felt like a bunch of stuff we've seen before. It looked good, but I just don't really think there were scenes that stand out - like in Gladiator, everyone remembers Crowe's speech when he reveals himself in the pit. Damon didn't deliver anything close. And his big boss' voice didn't match.

Thrid, overall just didn't see anything spectacular in terms of acting. Pattinson was good, so was spiderman, but the rest were just fine. Nothing stand out.
