I’m just not going to be able to get over Matt Damon as Odysseus. He is just not right for historical period dramas or epics. I saw him in The Last Duel and it was horrible. I was watching Matt Damon the entire time. He is good in other movies - ones set in modern times. But I would see Matt Damon in the Odyssey. I’d also see Tom Holland and Zendaya. I would not be able to get into the story.

The review I saw said Matt Damon played Matt Damon. Anne Hathaway plays Anne Hathaway. Tom Holland plays Tom Holland. Zendaya pouts. That Nolen got some visuals very right, but that he forgot to direct the actors or get them to step outside their own persona.

People that wouldn’t dream of putting a movie together are so happy to criticize this.

With emotion. With hate. I’m getting slammed by a cousin for unfortunately mentioning I will see the movie

It’s like TDS hatred from people who have not even seen it

Have you seen the Dark Knight?

Do you think the Joker was a well-played villain?

The screeches that Nolan miscast Heath Ledger were deafening before its release.

This anti odyssey thing is sick
