Fucking no way !!!
It was the worst movie ever !!!
I still can't believe that Matt Damon took that role ???
Wtf was that Goon Monster with the one eye eating people ???
And those huge Tin Man Soldiers on that island ???
It was so unrealistic, and weird and a story line that was completely unable for anyone with a reasonable mind to follow, it just sucked !!!

So ur saying u loved it
|

I'm with Edmond, that movie was so long (3 hours) and it wasn't good at all.
Thank goodness that my theater serves alcohol.
|
|
|
The last hour was the best part of the movie. It was WAY to slow and felt like a soap opera.

I dug it. But you have to be a fan or have some background on Greek mythology and Homer to get all the nuances. Saw it in D-BOX, that was cool, amazing sounds and the lux recliners rocking and rolling with motion - that added a cool experience to it all.
Gooman =Cyclops
Robots were giants of course
Watched TROY again next day, it follows along with Odessey with Odysseus and Agamemnon storming Troy, but focuses more on Achilles and Hector (as top warriors who weren't represented in Odessey)
If you know the story already its pretty cool.

I lost all interest when that Witch turned all of the men into pigs.
That was the just bizarre, and we walked out after that.
|

Sounds like folks need to read the summary before the go see this movie.
|
|
|
please read the book before watching the movie for max enjoyment!

I watched the trailer & there's no reason for me to see this. Doesn't even tell me what Damon's quest is in the 1st place. A lot of dry, brown looking shots. For 3 hours?! BOORINGGG!
Shocked it did so well. Christopher Nolan continues to do no wrong at the box office! (Oppenheimer, Dark Knight trilogy, etc.)

When I saw that the Greek soldiers were wearing Roman outfits I was like, what the fuck. When I looked into it, the director felt that Roman gear looked cooler!
|
|

I would like to watch it but for three hours? Plus the 30-35 minutes of unnecessary trailers on top of it…. I’ll wait for when it comes out on Amazon.

I thought that it was horrible.
4 hours of my life that I'll never get back.
They should have an Hx Loft at the movie theaters for boring long ass movies ).gif)

Highly recommend the movie!!!

@SpicyAri - You know why men can't get Mad Cow Disease? because we're already pigs.

Maribel: You have such exquisite taste. 😉
So there are no other cinephiles on HX???

I like going to Irvine Spectrum Imax for the late showing and sitting back row center with just a few people in the theater. I had the whole room to myself back in 2018 for Apollo 11. The last time I went was for Becoming Led Zeppelin (and one of our very lovely HX girls kindly went with me).
I'm definitely going to Imax for Nolan's The Odyssey. I thought the hype might have been a lot of Christopher Nolan ass-kissing, but now it has a 98% rating on RT and excellent critics like David Ehrlich (IndieWire), Clarisse Loughrey (The Independent), Mike Ryan (The Hard Pass), John Nugent (Empire), and G. Allen Johnson (San Francisco Chronicle) are gushing (meh, Johnson had some reservations) about it and together make a convincing case for paying extra for the Imax ticket.
BTW, the book, in my opinion, is one I can re-read and become totally enthralled and not want to put it down even after having read it a number of times in the past.

The Irvine Spectrum IMAX is the best! I saw Project Hail Mary there and it was beautiful! I also saw Dunkirk there as well.
|
|
|
BTW, there is a version of The Odyssey with Homer Simpson in it. Homer was Odysseus and Moe, Lenny, Carl, Apu, Frink, and Barney were his crew.

Jaysus, I guess I shouldn't have assumed most people on HX know "not of" is not proper English. You meant "not have," you Big Dummy! What're you, a reject from Hooked On Phonics?!

Sounds like it's right up there with Interstellar.
What a shit show that movie was too.
|
|

Revoking movie selection privileges from my lady for the rest of the year after that selection.
Just horrible, a real lay back and catch a nap kind of movie. Even my lady regretted going to the movies that night.

Good evening Movie lovers,
I have not seen this recent version of this movie. I am on the fence about watching it.
I read the books The Iliad & Odyssey. Saw multiple movies extrapolated from these 2 literature.
Some that stood up in my mind are
Troy, Ulysses, Odysseus, Helena of Troy, Achilles, the Trojan War......
Sometimes movies can stretch longer than they should, drag on the stories, over emphasizes the events & characters, ultimately ruining the viewing pleasure.
I would appreciate more comments. It will most definitely help me in making my decision after reading your comments.
Thank you & have a good evening.
Regards
Rory

Update:
New reviews and criticisms have emerged that are leading me to believe that the pre-release hype WAS almost entirely Christopher Nolan ass-kissing. An example: "A very silly adaptation of The Odyssey in The Economist. Also, Emily Wilson who translated The Odyssey in 2017 called the movie script, "Abysmal". Nolan had openly cited Wilson's acclaimed 2017 translation of The Odyssey as a major creative influence for his film's interpretation.
Someone on YouTube commented, "If I saw this on a plane, I'd still walk out".
I decided NOT to see it in theater and wait for streaming.
Still, all the 70mm Imax showings at Irvine Spectrum have been virtually sold-out since opening.

|
|
She also called Nolan out for having no sex scenes in it. What?! The bastard!
|
|
|
Awww i wanted to go and see it today for a solo date.
Maybe ill just wait until it comes out in theaters .
|
|
|
I would not see this pile of garbage in the theaters. The race swapping and ellen as a man. Just that is enough for me. Not using Greek uniforms confirms that I made the correct decision. Shame on all of you that saw this movie. Nolen is great but this is his humiliation ritual for them in charge

He bended the knee to check all the boxes to win an Oscar. Does don't hate the player hate the game apply here?
|

Saw it yesterday (normal format, not IMAX) for half-price thanks to AMC Stubs. I liked it although I disliked the whitewashing, all-star casting, and the modern dialogue.
Don't pay full price. Either see a matinee or wait for streaming.

"Shame on all of you that saw this movie. "
Aww, another delicate MAGA person who spends too much time watching Fox News (& worse outlets) who, in order to drive up ratings, keeps up the "us vs. them" narrative where they want you to hate the other side for "who gives a shit?" reasons.
Awww! Poor baby!

I loved. It. So great.
|
|
|
It's the best movie of the year so far.
