After watching this in IMAX, I’m not surprised why people are talking about this movie. I’m not someone deeply versed in Greek mythology, but I can say that this film is an absolutely insane masterpiece. The way the storylines gradually converged kept me fully engaged, allowing me to watch this nearly three-hour film without ever feeling drowsy. Not to mention the visuals and cinematography—it felt like a real feast for the eyes. Although for the first dozen minutes or so I kept wondering, "Where is Odysseus?", my curiosity was ultimately satisfied once he appeared on screen. I don't know about others, but I was thoroughly impressed by the performances of Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway. I mean, Anne Hathaway—you are a true queen. Absolutely stunning. I loved how she conveyed all those "suppressed" emotions; she made me feel that same sense of stifled anguish, even though I wasn't the one playing Penelope. And Matt Damon—his portrayal of Odysseus’s regret made it impossible not to feel the sting of the betrayal he suffered at the hands of those he trusted. I know how confusing Greek mythology can be and how chaotic the conflicts are (even if I haven't delved too deeply into them), but this film strikes the perfect balance. Last but not least, I like you, Robert Pattinson, but I felt like punching you when you played Antinous. And one more special shout-out to Tom Holland and Zendaya—you two absolutely cooked it as Telemachus and Athena.

Movie actually surprised me. It was told in such a way that I was never bored. It bounce between current and past events in such a way it felt like a memory. The visuals were amazing. Simple and not so CGI that you felt like you watching a cartoon or some garbage AI generation. All the actors gave great performances. You knew who to hate and who to love. I recommend this one.

**The Odyssey is a three-hour insult to the audience** This film refused to take the source material seriously. The casting was a DEI checklist, with the assembly so jarring that it was on par with the forced multiculturalism in 2008's "10,000 BC". Costumes, sets, and dialog all shattered immersion and made it unbelievable. Pacing was slow, dragging viewers through poorly lit sets. Worst of all, every actor was simply playing themselves. The film didn't succeed in convincing that it was set in the ancient Mediterranean, and poor effort was made to make it feel like bronze-age Greece. It was a massive step backwards in film, especially after Mel Gibson set the bar in 2006's Apocalypto. This is Hollywood is failing: all hype, zero substance. Save your money.

So I went to see this one 2x because I had to confirm if I was tripping because my reaction just wasn't what most people felt when they saw The Odyssey according to the reviews here. The second viewing only confirmed my initial reaction, it's a good enough film but it not a mastepiece. On a technical filmmaking level The Odyssey puts foot to ass and delivers some hard hitting moments like the cyclops encounter and the battle with the giant Laestrygonians. It's also immersive watching Odysseus and his crew on thier ship as they're traveling about the region, you feel like you're on the ship's deck. It's a film that excels at visual spectacle many times, combined with some inventive sound design and there are many moments that will stick with you. So then there's that other half of the film and it's mostly were I felt the biggest disconnect from the material. Half of this film is spent with Penelope and Telemechus and how they navigate Odysseus' absence. These stretches are clunky and poorly written IMO. I wanted to groan out loud at their final confrontation before the last feast. Anne Hathaway's eyes and forhead veins bulge as she utters poorly written line after poorly written line in the strangest cadence. There's so many moments like this. I think Tom Holland and John Leguizamo seemed the most comfortable and natural while saying the dialogue. It wasn't even the modern language that bothered me. I just ask, why go through the effort of stacking this cast and then turn around and give them crumbs to work with in terms of a script? It really made it hard to connect with these characters on an emotional level. I think that's why the dog was added, so folks could feel something. Make a little effort so we can have some energy in these exchanges and John Bernthal doesn't just sound like Frank Castle in a robe. I think probably the most consistent group was Telemechus vs the suitors in the dining hall, and that's thanks more to Corey Hawkins and Robert Pattison's abilities than what was written for then. Tom also did a great job of being pissed and taking jabs at them. They made me laugh a few times, I genuinely wanted to fight them. Also I do give a lot of props to the Cerce scene. That was one of the few times where the dialogue and acting were in sync and cooking. Outside of that, memorable bars and exchanges were few and far between. Zendaya, Lupita, and Charlize just felt wasted. So many of these moments I just didn't care for and their blandness really stood out a second time. The average Game Of Thrones episode plays better than this dramatically. Overall I think it's a technial marvel, but there's too many films that have come out this year that I've enjoyed so much more that prevent me from putting this one among them.
