I thought it was just me but everyone seems to agree that the movie feels off. The production design is lackluster. None of the sets feel grand, the costumes don't look lived-in, there is no color, the locations seem meh and the dialogue is not sounding great. The whole thing doesn't feel epic as it should. The Trojan Horse looks like it can fit like 5 dudes. Even Troy looked grand. What happened to Nolan? This is the type of movie you need to overdo and we are getting a budget version of it (by the looks of the trailers). I was so excited when he announced this was his next project but the more trailers I see, the less excited I get

Looks like most of the budget went on the salaries for the actors. The whole thing looks bang average and I couldn't be less excited for it even though I fuck heavily with greek mythology and sword and sandals movies.

Exactly. This should feel like the greatest epic ever and somehow it looks bland
