    1. Everyone always raves about this guys movies and then you watch them and struggle to stay awake cursing yourself for falling for the reviews.

    2. I don’t think he’s made a bad movie. He’s made movies I’d consider average to above average, and a few that are even great. It’s no real surprise that this is in the good to great spectrum, despite how people felt about the trailer

      THR: “Been seeing his movies in theaters since Memento, and after 25 years, The Odyssey gives us a first: **a fleshed out horror sequence directed by Christopher Nolan**”

    4. Sounds like we’re in for another big blockbuster after a more subdued dramatic Oppenheimer. Can’t wait, glad I bought tickets already for the biggest imax screen i could find

      Everybody that has been complaining about “historical accuracy” are just using that as an excuse for racism

    6. I recall a time when epics were a thing. Couldn’t think of a better time to revisit that genre of filmmaking.

    7. Elon Musk and his stans spent a week being offended a Black actress was playing Helen of Troy

      Hope he abandoned the obnoxious quick cut edit style of “Oppenheimer” Pretty much ruined that film for me

      The haters have Streisand-effected this. I had no intentions of watching this movie. Now I need to watch it in the theater.

      Shame on any idiots that would doubt Nolan. I can’t wait to be seated for this epic theater experience.

      But what about all of the opinions of the people that have been bitching about the trailer for months before they even saw it? Let’s hear more of what they have to say about casting choices!

      I saw it last night in a crowded theater. It was far from perfect, actually I was pretty confused by one particular scene where an actor who looks suspiciously like Christopher Nolan jerks off into a roll of IMAX celluloid. He proceeds to flip off the camera while cupping his balls in his hands, and the rest of the movie continues without ever acknowledging that one scene

      Good hope to see it, so tired of the constant judgmental nit picky crap toward everything

    14. Elon Musk must be spiralling. The diversity of the cast got him triggered. Here’s hoping the movie does great numbers.

      Hopefully it’s a good watch. After being duped into seeing Disclosure Day, I’m not sure I have it in me to go to the movies again😆

    16. But wait Reddit told me after the last trailer that it was going to be the worst movie ever made
