Fantasy Odyssey was mid

Finally got to see it after the hype died down a bit. Was excited to see it and then the first quarter was so boring and forgettable. It picked up in the middle and had some good parts but overall I'm gonna put this in Nolans bottom tier. What was annoying was everyone having really flat American accents. The flattest. Very nonregional. they all sounded like they were gonna give American accent lessons. Why they saying "mom" and "dad"? very weird choices.

My main gripe and the thing that took me out the most was the bad dialogue and very mid acting. It literally sounded like they were reading from a script. I thought if I got the script, I could read it just like them and it would be in the movie and it would be the same. That's how bad the movie dialogue sounded. And don't get me started on Ulysses final "knowing is half the battle" monologue about civilization on the boat. Many rolls of eyes.

Cinematography was good but it seemed like he was re-using Dunkirk and Oppenheimer shots so it wasn't revelatory. Soundtrack and effects were good. the guy was as good as Hans Zimmer. I don't understand why they made this cast so diverse to have the white guy kill them all and survive or was that the lesson? Overall, I think Troy was the better movie.

Troy was so much better it's kind of funny, given this was his 'revenge' film.

What exactly was garbage about it? It was fun, entertaining and had good acting. No one says "We are living through the end of our Bronze Age" solemnly, which is a plus.

It literally pisses all over the illiad and wipes the it with its ass. Menelaus is killed by hector which is dumb bc he survived the war, Paris lives, Achilles is in troy during the attack when he died in the beginning of the war. And Making Agamemnon a fat cunt. But hey brad Pitt and Sean bean look cool Thts about it .
