It’s garbage because one minor cast member is black? I’m not a fan of the casting choice but damn what a crappy way to live. It’s a freaking movie based on an ancient story.

First screening confirmed Page is playing Sinon, a character from The Aeneid that is left with the Trojan Horse to help trick the Trojans. No word on who is playing Achilles.

It was totally ridiculous. The rumor was just flat out stupid

Them doing only film critics and no influencers indicates that they are VERY happy with the film

In 4 weeks, each of those dudes will be telling us that such melts never happened. One of them will be calling anyone who suggests otherwise a "liar."

So if I check your post history, I'll find zero posts of you whining about something you disagree with? I bet you'd have something to say if Troye Sivan were cast as Black Panther...

Since it's just a freaking movie, you'd be okay with Odysseus checking IG on his iphone every 30 minutes?

These people won’t engage the actual points being made, like you see above they’ll create a one size fits all straw man and claim anyone who refuses to be labeled under that straw man is lying. It’s just what these people do, they’re not smart enough to make arguments so they use these underhanded smear tactics instead.

I really don’t know how good this will be. I never read the book, but my wife did back in high school and she said it was the worst thing she’s ever read.
I mean, any problems with the film are not due to the source material. It’s a foundational piece of western culture.

I’ve never gone from hyped to absolutely zero desire to see a movie than I have with this one.

Nolan has been wildly inconsistent in his comments and approach to the movie. He maintains he wants accuracy refusing to have orchestra style music because those types of instruments didn’t exist then. Meanwhile he’s fine with rap music and synthesizers being used. He excluded the gods but kept the cyclops and underworld. You have the silly looking armor, made up characters, modern vernacular and of course the ridiculous casting. Will it work, will it be a good movie, will it make tons of money, we’ll see but to argue against these facts is just incorrect.

He'll call you a liar for saying he calls everyone a liar. But he's just an AngryRegal.

A good way to avoid being called a liar is to not lie. I get it, people like you can’t make an argument without doing it but that’s not our fault.

Just something else they’ve thrown into their straw man stew. If you didn’t like the casting or laughed at a meme you “claimed the movie would bomb”


This is what they do

Can’t believe it only took one day where we had to say. We tried telling you guys and I told you so.

Y’all will literally never learn. At this point none of you will change. You will keep repeating the same cycle over like rings of power,snow white, Star Wars, supergirl, etc.
