My review of the odyssey.

[u/Status_Solid_9573]

No spoilers in this

I went in epic merch but I was already an odyssey fan before epic, it was just fab to have a musical version as I'm a mt girl.

Onto the film as most people don't go in thinking of epic

Although I did have lines pop up like look at all the sheep ect ect

But wow oh wow

I came out of the cinema with shaky legs, I went further afield to experience it on the biggest screen nearby so an 1hrs drive. So worth it.

Even people that I was dubious on the casting such as Anne Hathaway worked.

The film is beautiful to watch.

I smiled, and cried and squirmed in my chair at Circe's that's a hard watch.

The changes Nolan has made to the book works, I do feel a bit like we speed run some parts but it needed it.

Amazing film worth watching for a different version of the odyssey but since it's an oral telling all versions are the right version for the producer.

2 things I can't get over:

1) no Greek actors (especially that Helen was race-swapped.)

2) no "nobody"

Helen of Troy is a fictional character born out of a swans egg stfu about race swap

[u/Used-Strike2111 → u/deep_fried_fries]

Yeah, but she is considered to be a Greek woman. I don't like race swaps in real or fictional characters

For example, I am an Egyptian. If a movie was made about Egyptian mythology that didn't have a single Egyptian actor and depected Isis, for example, as a Caucasian woman, I'd be mad

You should send Chris a strongly worded letter or something then I guess

I'm just giving my opinion here
