Deemed the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen's otherworldly beauty was held responsible for a war waged among men, triggered after her marriage to Paris of Troy.

The movie will fail spectacularly.

Perhaps the biggest bust in Hollywood history.

It cost $250 million to produce.

It will be lucky to get $100 million in sales.

Well, how very inclusive.....every depiction of Helen of Troy known shows a Caucasian female.

More woke idiots trying to cram woke bs down our throats.

I predict this turd will crater epically

So stupid
Nolan is an idiot surprisingly

Studios force this crap

Been in the meeting with my own ears over homosexual insertion to plotlines

Totally gratuitous

It’ll be a glorious, spectacular failure. You’d think shareholders would get tired of losing vast fortunaes in woke bomb movies. I guess not

He has a history of making great movies.

Why would he agree to this crap?

The Dark Knight was a top 10 of all time.

They HAD to twist this with a liberal bent, in order to avoid a fair comparison to “Troy”, which featured Brad Pitt.
