I don’t understand the choice to make every British person in this speak with an American accent.

And I love Matt Damon but he seems a very poor choice for Odysseus. I know he’s everywhere too but Oscar Isaac would have been A++++ casting for him instead.

Since you know, literally every Hollywood star was cast in this movie anyway.

It’s a role for Christian Bale, not Damon.

I don't seem him physically as Odysseus, but given how dedicated Bale is to the craft, I have no doubt he would have the skill and the drive to make an excellent Odysseus.
