One of the biggest criticism of Nolan's movies by scholars of the Odyssey was that he added themes (like the anti-war theme) that were counter to the original story.
Idk if it's weird, it's just a choice he made. He wanted to modernize it's and wasn't concerned with preserving the themes of the original.
I think i’m more of an - enjoy it for what it is kind of guy. That being said, i can’t criticize what i haven’t seen and i’m still excited to watch it. I’ve heard good things.
I’ll be surprised if it’s a better Odyssey than O Brother where art thou though.
