He was simply telling us what happened, in poetry form, some 2,700 years after the fact.

That French broad is ugly as a mud fence. No one is believing one of the wealthiest bachelors in the world is falling for either of them.

I seriously don't think Nolan knows what a good looking woman is.


The fact that he casted Zendaya as Athena is absolutely wild

Charlize Theron is 21 years older than Zendaya and yet she’s still 10x more attractive and would’ve been an infinitely better choice for Athena.

Nah, casting Lupita as Helen is kinda ridiculous from both the perspective of race and attractiveness.

Why can someone not care? It’s a story that inspired the likes of Caesar and Alexander the Great. Yet Nolan is going with a modern retelling of the story and turning it into an embarrassment.

If you bring this up it’s not supposed to matter because it’s fiction but man don’t bring up Scarlett Johansson playing the lead in Ghost in the Shell or white people voicing non whites in animated shows.

It’s a spit in a face to their history and culture.

Correct me if I’m wrong but both this and Achilles stuff can only be a brief part at the beginning of this movie because that’s all in the illiad.

I would rather Diane Krueger who played Helen in the movie Troy.

Has Sweeney ever had a "box office smash"?

The Housemaid has been successful enough to warrant a sequel.

I think you're right, which is akin to saying we start the meal off with an appetizer of rotten dog scat. It may get better afterwards.

She has down syndrome face. Those ships wouldn't sail for her face, I'll tell you what (Hank Hill voice).

I mean if Scylla doesn’t have six heads what are we even doing here?


By your dumbass logic, Odysseus could roll around Ithaca in a BMW or check Instagram while fighting the feminist looking cyclops because 'who needs to accurately follow source material, it's all fake anyway.'

It's weird. It's like people care about fake make believe movies and stuff. Only this is rooted in 3000 yr old Greek mythology. GREEK. Not N. Africa, not China, not Scandinavian, not freaking Mayan...
