A new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has sparked a strong reaction online, with more dislikes than likes appearing on YouTube.

I’ll pass.
Apparently the Greeks invented lip filler injections.
The first two Batman movies are among my favorite. He has made fantastic movies. Who the f wants to watch a confused lesbian be the hero of mythology?
(Of course it is to make sure he gets awards since every movie needs to have homos, trannies, and neighbors to get awards.)
“Fweeeeeeeee-dommm!!!!!!!!”
Talk to in in september
Not interested in seeing it.
If they go broke enough, they won’t be able to foist this crap on us anymore. We may want to consider verbally encouraging them to do more to hasten their downfall.
I think those 3 guys were stunt doubles in “300”.
Honestly, in your view, what attributes does this latest retelling have that will make it pull in 1.5 billion dollars?
Just watch
The Odyssey ❌
The Audacity ✅
“ This is the summer of haircuts. Spielberg, Nolan, Star Wars Disney, Gunn all taking a hit. Only movie that might be safe is Spider Man. That’s a perennial.”
Nolan’s movie isn’t even out yet
The old time movie press agents used to have a maxim: “A knock is as good as a boost.”
In other words, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. You want everybody talking about your movie, it doesn’t really matter that much what they’re saying.

Did they UN-queer Spiderman?
Feel what way?
The movie isn’t out yet. Pick this discussion back up in Sept. or at least August
Yes and adults use inferencing skills based on real world metrics like trailer reactions, casting choices, etc.
I think woke is required in a movie if they want to be considered for a best picture Oscar.
lol “unexpected” I am sure all the Karen’s, trans and leftist wackos they showed it to loved it then they showed it to the non crazies and the expected happen
Paging Disney 😂😂😂😂😂
