“ disappointment was Matt Damon as Odysseus. That’s horrible casting to me. So are Tom Holland and Zendaya. None of them are right for a Greek epic.”
Did you see the movie?
No. I’m just going off of the casting and the fact that I saw Damon in The Duel (a prior historic period drama). I just don’t think he’s good in historic dramas. He’s a unique actor and I see Damon when he’s in a movie. He does not turn himself into the character the way a Daniel Day Lewis does. I like Damon in modern movies but not in historic period dramas. So that’s what I’m basing my skepticism on. Maybe I’m wrong but so far that’s my biggest fear about the movie. Frankly, I thought the criticism over Lupita Nyong’o and Elliot Page was overblown because I suspected they were not going to get much screen time and that apparently turned out to be true. But Damon is the main character and I don’t think I’m going to be able to see anything but him as the actor.
