It's a big no from me, dawg. While I appreciated a lot of the technical achievement throughout, Matt Damon didn't work, at all, for me and the script didn't do any of the other actors any favors. It felt like watching a bad play at times.

Fire Fraught Amne Hathaway into the sun, let Holland use his native accent, and cast a Brit as your Odysseus. Also sick of Jon Bernthal continuing to play Jon Bernthal. I know these are superficial nitpicks but they, collectively, took me out of the movie.

This was a slog to sit through but it got some hearty applause in the sold-out theater we were in so I'm likely in the minority here. Big bummer coming off the high I had seeing Tenet in 70mm last week in Toronto.

Also disappointed Ben Affleck didnt show up as Zeus for Jason Bourne's final fight scene at the end.

Told you! These celebrities can’t get out of their own way. How is Richard Jenkins not in this?

I don’t see how this could improve upon the Armand Assante joint from the 90’s.

Imagine having done this movie with the enormous budget, but then getting no name actors and then it flops. Do some of you know how the film industry works?

Who's advocating for no-name actors? Mr. Bean is HUGE! Imagine him as Odysseus!

Who would have thought we were going to see a Nolan movie with Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Bennie Safdie, Elliot Page, Robert Pattison or James Remar?

Also really fucking weird to have Tom Holland and Zendaya as co stars!! and Charlize Theron?? wtf
