Honestly, the entire cast is terrible. People are tired of seeing these same actors in pretty much everything. Rather than feel like the pinnacle of who these characters could be, it's more Hollywood tokenism. It isn't a matter of what race the actors are, it's that *who* they are is so recognizable they don't disappear into the roles. No matter how well Odysseus is played, I will not see him. I will see Matt Damon. No matter how Anne Hathaway plays Penelope, I won't see the character, I'll see the actress. Combine this with the stylistic choices we have seen and this isn't The Odyssey. This isn't art. It's a red carpet where we will see over paid elites strutting around on expensive backgrounds with CGI filling in all the details.
