Went to see the odyssey todayā¦as a Greek mythology nerd I was more than apprehensive. Iāve also obviously seen the discourse online and as someone who is pretty down the middle with this stuff I didnāt know what it was going to be like. I donāt particularly like things straying too far from the source material and I donāt like shoehorning things in for the sake of it, butā¦ā¦i LOVED it!!! Yes the armour isnāt of the time period and the accents are American, and that would normally bother me but it just didnāt. The movie was so much bigger than those things I didnāt even really notice. I thought the acting was amazing. Tom Holland I thought was a coming of age performance, Iām not sure heāll play that kind of young character again after this. Robert Patterson (traditionally not my favourite actor) I thought was phenomenal. He needs to play more villains, matt Damon I now canāt see anyone else playing Odysseus, and say what you want about the casting of Elliot pageā¦firstly heās not Achilles and I agree that would have been an odd casting heās playing sinon and actually is the perfect choice for that character in this particular film and NAILS it! Nolan does this amazing thing where he makes it seem like the gods really did exist on our planet but at the same time makes it seem like this is fantasy. Itās dark and real but with just the right amount of myth. I personally thought the score was so good, I must admit I donāt know much about movie scores but it felt massive to me but as I said Iām just kind of an average punter. Itās also a little bit sad weirdly. Without spoilers it kind of signals the end of the era of the gods as if you know your Greek mythology the Bronze Age comes to an end in the near future. I think Nolan nails this transition soooo well. What a movieā¦loved it, and if youāre just a normal dude or girl who likes this stuff trust meā¦.go and see it šš»
