Looks epic

Shaky dialogue but looks great.

Telemachus referring to Odysseys as "my dad" is a weird choice to me. "my father" would've made more sense to me. I know Telemachus is supposed to be a sort of 21-year-old baby child, but it still felt weird

I was kinda hoping for a, like, modern day reinterpretation of The Odyssey featuring, say, someone like a goofy George Clooney

This looks joyless. No way it’s better than the 90s made for tv version. I mean that.

looks like a marvel movie

Marvel movies have color, though Batman, Cat Woman, and Spider-Man are all prominently in this so it’s got some comic book vibes.

I shouldn't have watched the trailer. Now I can't stop thinking about how utterly shite Tom Holland's American accent is.

Still, it looks like there will be some epic scenes. The cyclops, giant whirlpool etc.

I hope Burt was just making a joke about the cast. It looks nothing like a Marvel movie.

Took me out of it too and has me worried.

Damon cracking jokes as well.

Odysseus is a funny dude

I wonder if it will be nominated as a comedy/dance film

All of the clothing looks too “new”

Also, shouldn't they be speaking Ancient Greek?

An even more ancient Greek than the ancient Greek we know. Homer's stories were about characters and events that would've taken place 400 years before his time, on the other side of a Dark Age. Odysseus would've spoken some kind of Mycenaean Greek

I like my beer cold and my Greek ancient.

Yeah, I’m out.

What if the real odyssey was wading through everyone’s weird hangups about this movie all along?
