Conservative commentator Matt Walsh eviscerates The Odyssey:
"Just saw The Odyssey. Despite what you may have heard, literally all of the criticisms by conservatives were entirely correct. The movie is just as woke as you fear, if not more so. The DEI casting is atrocious. Completely takes you out of the story right from the beginning. But even worse than that is Nolan’s decision to turn Odysseus into an anachronistic whiney, solemn shell of a man plagued by “trauma” and guilt. It’s impossible to overlook these flaws because the film itself is not terribly entertaining or well constructed. For the most part it is disjointed, dull, self-serious, disenchanted, somehow feeling both verbose and overly rushed at the same time. The dialogue is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a “critically acclaimed” film. “On the nose” and “clunky” are descriptions that can’t even begin to describe this script. At no point in the story does Nolan ever transport the audience to the ancient world. You never feel like you’re 3,000 years in the past. You feel like you’re watching modern Americans put on a pageant, because you are. Nobody would be calling this thing a masterpiece if it was made by a director not named Christopher Nolan. "
Are people catching on to how subversive this film is?
@Cuisin07@__0HOUR1_ That would be you. You are obviously the fool who cannot figure that out. Why stay and watch a film that was promised to be great, but what you got was seriously offensive?
@deienara@__0HOUR1_ What do you expect when people go to the movie thinking it will be great, and then you get something that is completely revolting. Why stay for that?
There is massive paid manipulation about The Odyssey on review sites.
The good ones shallowly praise the spectacle, while the suppressed bad ones are a bloodbath.
It is boring, incoherent, racist.
It uses spectacle and paid review ops to hide the incompetence and malevolence.
The audience scores are in The Odyssey and rotten tomatoes is once again manipulating the ratings, as they are currently blocking negative scores. Metacritic is showing a more accurate picture of the real rating for the movie, rated at a 5.7 average.
Other movies such as the woman king also boast a massively high viewer score of 99% despite its viewer score on metacritic at only 3.2.
@Squidstocks1@mypalal It's not a good movie. What is so hard to understand. It should be obvious given what is known about it even without someone explicitly telling you to save your money.
