Movie wasnt good. Last 25 minutes was okay but not worth 3 hours.

5/10 at best. 2 scenes were good thats it.

Spoiler

Odysseus reuniting with his 20 year old hunting dog and Pinnelippe and thats it. Rest of movie was undercooked.

I can say this, movies like Troy and 300(both films) and Braveheart was leagues ahead of the Odyssey

I watched it last night in a regular imax theater. I stirred the pot for the past few weeks, but I came out thoroughly entertained after leaving.

As someone who’s never read the stories or even familiar with the stories, I wouldn’t be able to tell you what was changed and what wasn’t. I went in completely blind and watch it as if it were an “original” story from Hollywood.


If you can watch it from that perspective instead of being a historian connoisseur, I can see how it’s a great movie for Nolan fans and movie goers.


I don’t think I’ve ever watched a movie this loud before. The cyclops scene was louder than I ever remember the T-Rex scene being from the original Jurassic Park back in the ‘90s.


The ending fight scene reminded me a lot of The Dark Knight Trilogy with the different camera pans, jump cuts and fighting choreography.


Don’t let the outside noise deter you from seeing it in the theater. It’s pretty good. I still believe 8.5/10 is where it’s at though instead of the 97%. It’s a solid flick.

Props for being able to go into a movie with an open mind despite stirring the pot prior.

Cyclops scene/scream was for sure the loudest thing I’ve ever heard in a theatre. Just piercing sound that was very fitting for the scene. My dad took his hearing aid out 10 minutes into the film

I have said this exact thing that the movie is a solid 8-8.5.


The 97% is a result of how RT does their metric IMO.

There will be very few people who would give it below a 5.5 after a honest viewing. Hence can understand 97% being 5.5 or above which is what technically a 97% on RT is.

That just means 97% of critics gave it a fresh rating. You have to look at the actual score, it's an 8.7. Just about the same as you.

Troy was a steaming pile of shite that almost all the actors in it hate and regret being in.

It’s funny to see all you poopy pants dementia Biden freaks that can’t accept that the movie just wasn’t good. You throw in your politics to ruin every movie and wonder people make fun of you all the time.

I don't think you're laughing.

Do you think BB III is the TD screen name for Colman Domingo? I think you missed that was a quote.

No, I caught that. I figured it was a thought he shared, otherwise, why post it? He confirmed that in his next post by saying Cracker Barrel is super White. It's a dumb comment, just meant as a casual dig against white people for no particular reason. He might as well be like "duh, Cracker Barrel is full of crackers, herp derp." It's cultural commentary at a retard level.
