Early, TRUSTED reactions of The Odyssey are confirming what I feared would happen. The Odyssey is a pretentious slog to get through.
.
.
The specific critiques are fairly consistent.

Casting controversy: Ellen Page and Lupito Nyong'o appear in glorified cameos. For all the controversy their casting generated, they had no meaningful presence in the film, which gives weight to the theory that they were brought on as stunt casting and Oscar bait.

Music/Sound: A consistent Nolan criticism across several of his films is the bad sound mixing. That problem persists here. Further, the Travis Scott "rap" at the end is described as "painfully cringey."

Main Actors: Aside from the one or two standouts, such as Samantha Morton as Circe, none of the actors embody or immerse themselves in their roles. The ensemble presents as actors simply reading through the script.

Visuals: The historical foibles regarding armor, weapons, and ships have been dissected to death, but the bigger problem is the overall aesthetic that's grey and dark. It's as if Nolan shot the film in a frequently overcast corner of Northern Europe instead of any locale that resembles the Mediterranean regions.

Pacing: The film doesn't "get going" until at least 30 minutes in. A 3-hour film is a lot to ask of an audience, so if the opening hook is sedate, you've got a problem on your hands.

Dialogue: The modern language frequently takes viewers out of the story, particularly with all the actors speaking in their respective native accents. There's no sense of period or commonality around a culture and its people.

Will The Odyssey be a commercial hit or bomb?

Too soon to tell, but it does appear clear that the controversies were self-inflicted, that this "interpretation" of Homer's Odyssey was meant to appeal to a very small set of cinephile elitists and Hollywood backscratchers, and that Christopher Nolan forgot the one thing that a director should never forget...

A film's first and primary job is to entertain.

Fifa Technology 👀

Its very clear to everyone with working eyes that:
1. It hits the wire
2. Trajectory of ball changes
3. All Norwegian staff seen it happen

They are hiding behind this ball technology which clearly isnt working properly & even worse, was used to chop off a Croatia goal that we also could not see any evidence of the player touching the ball

Football is unique, its a flowing game, get the technology less involved and make the refs control a game again 🙏
