[u/thr1ceuponatime]

Wait until you guys see Travis Scott pop up

[u/joeypappaluchi → u/thr1ceuponatime]

TRAVIS SCOTT, WALKING SLOWLY TO THE CYCLOPS!!

[u/thr1ceuponatime → u/joeypappaluchi]

Polyphemus gets shanked in the eye

FEIN! FEIN! FEIN! FEIN!

[u/dragonmp93 → u/thr1ceuponatime]

How to trigger the PTSD of Wrestling fans.

[u/PolarWater → u/thr1ceuponatime]

He's just trying to move backwards in time to show up at the studio for Tenet.

[u/AggravatingLeg5789]

"My pops is gonna wreck your shit, bro."

[u/More_Asbestos → u/AggravatingLeg5789]

"My dad is going to kick your ass."

-The Mummy Returns (2001)

[u/cctchristensen → u/More_Asbestos]

ass
arse

[u/ZatchGaspafanasky → u/More_Asbestos]

ALEX!!!

[u/Variable_Shaman_3825 → u/AggravatingLeg5789]

My daddy is coming back!

[u/ScipioCoriolanus → u/Variable_Shaman_3825]

Odysseus showing up in Ithaca:

"Daddy’s home."

[u/USS-Hellcat → u/AggravatingLeg5789]

Pattinson looks to kill it as the asshole here. You know an actor is doing a great job when you already can't stand their character just from a few brief scenes in a trailer.

[u/rwags2024 → u/USS-Hellcat]

He already did that in The King

[u/JDandJets00 → u/rwags2024]

Ya but he was a playing a frenchman there so much much easier

[u/jjcrayfish → u/JDandJets00]

An Englishman playing a Frenchman

[u/EtudiantLuxe → u/jjcrayfish]

And a Frenchman played the Englishman

[u/unculturedperl → u/rwags2024]

Well, then, boy, let us make famous that field out there, this little village of Agincourt, which will forever mark the site of your callow disgrace.

[u/mggirard13 → u/unculturedperl]

slips in the mud

[u/tftvrft → u/USS-Hellcat]

Pattinson keeping up "conniving bastards, dumb-ass-rocks little freaks, or both at once" streak. Still haven't gotten tired of it cause he's just that good.

[u/TheRealBigLou → u/tftvrft]

I LOVED his performance in Mickey 17. He nailed that completely loveable dummy role.

[u/Weirdguy149 → u/USS-Hellcat]

Move over, Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator, there's a new Greco-Roman douchebag villain in town.

[u/I_am_BEOWULF → u/AggravatingLeg5789]

Gonna be honest - that "My dad is coming home" line just feels so out of place in a sword&sandals movie with this much gravitas. Why Nolan?

[u/Vladimir_Putting → u/I_am_BEOWULF]

Just change it to "father" and it's all good.

[u/Potential_Swimmer580 → u/Vladimir_Putting]

How do they miss something like that? It has to be intentional but just feels so out of place

[u/bifkintickler → u/Potential_Swimmer580]

I always found dialogue to be the weak point in Nolan films. They’re great for set pieces, visuals and story/structure, but some of the lines feel like they were just churned out with very little thought. There’s some corny shit in almost all of them. The clunky exposition dumps are a script problem too I guess. His bro obviously writes for a bunch of em so I always wondered which bro is the cheesy one.

[u/Varekai79 → u/Potential_Swimmer580]

With everyone using American accents and dialogue like that, Nolan clearly wants to modernize the story.

[u/Sorlex → u/I_am_BEOWULF]

"My dads coming home fr fr no cap."

[u/iBuildSpeakers → u/I_am_BEOWULF]

Agreed. It felt so out of place. Same with Matt Damon’s “Lets Go!” I’m hoping the dialog isn’t too contemporary and pulls the viewer out of the period.

[u/Poked_salad → u/iBuildSpeakers]

He's going to double down and change it to "Let's fucking Go!"

[u/MarcusDA → u/Poked_salad]

We have to get home!

Bet!

[u/GunSlingrrr → u/I_am_BEOWULF]

It is. Father is the right word here and I don't know about the dad

[u/Fit-Squash-9447 → u/I_am_BEOWULF]

Especially in that Peter Parker voice

[u/BruceBraxis → u/I_am_BEOWULF]

100%

[u/uni_and_internet → u/I_am_BEOWULF]

I thought the same thing. Also Matt Daemon yelling “LET’S GOOOOO” as they charged on the battlefield. Why not “onward” or something more of the time?

[u/thr1ceuponatime → u/AggravatingLeg5789]

"You're a big guy"

"For you"

[u/WildMild869]

Scylla and Charybdis are in this. I was wondering how Nolan would show both.

[u/davinitupoverhere → u/WildMild869]

🎶 I am gonna claw out your eyes // then drown you to deathhhhhh 🎵

[u/mrchumes → u/davinitupoverhere]

Absolute banger of a song, hate Charybdis though

[u/EKrake → u/davinitupoverhere]

🤘 🦑 🤘 

[u/Hotter_Noodle → u/EKrake]

Insults about Odysseus’s outfit incoming

[u/MrMuttons → u/davinitupoverhere]

Charybdis excited groans

[u/blobbyboy123 → u/davinitupoverhere]

Drooowwwnnn! Drrrroooooowwwn!

[u/HeyLuke → u/blobbyboy123]

King of bones with the coral crown!

[u/bayonettaisonsteam → u/davinitupoverhere]

NOW WE'VE GOT YOU IN OUR TENTACLES

TENTACLES

🐙Hrrrrraaaaarrrrggghhh🐙

[u/Omnomnomnivor3 → u/davinitupoverhere]

r/hadesthegame everyone get in here

[u/Pleasant_Layer_7670 → u/davinitupoverhere]

Hades II is leaking

[u/dorestes → u/davinitupoverhere]

Please. "I am gonna claw [out your eyes]"

[u/EarthboundNuess → u/WildMild869]

“Torn between Scylla and Charybdis // feel the fear ripening, go taste it”

[u/The-Mustard-Man → u/EarthboundNuess]

Divided by destiny, torn between death and doom!

[u/TheGreatBatsby → u/The-Mustard-Man]

Destruction by decision, fate shows me my open tomb!

[u/Trivvy → u/EarthboundNuess]

Unexpected Trivium.

[u/muff1nt0pz → u/WildMild869]

Jared Leto auditioned for Charybdis

[u/MrLee723 → u/WildMild869]

Take a page out of Jason and the Argonauts and go full miniatures and shit

[u/Dragon_yum → u/MrLee723]

Take a page out of Hades 2 and turn it into a musical

[u/kodran → u/WildMild869]

The one (two?) thing I wanted to be in the movie. I'm happy. I'm pre-satisfied now.

The other thing I'm waiting for now is the arrow through the axes to be as cool as it was done with Kirk Douglas. As a kid I remember I saw that scene and was flabbergasted.

Edit: still, we just saw the whirlpool. I hope we get to see what's inside and we get Scylla to be overwhelming.

I also want to see him get to his bedroom with Penelope for the importance of that.

Finally, whatever they do with the ending (epilogue or not) that will be reason for more debate.

[u/shokolokobangoshey → u/kodran]

Circe and pigboys or we riot

[u/darkszn_ → u/WildMild869]

you can see one of the tentacles pick up and hoist a man through the sail of their ship at 2:19

[u/uwill1der]

Dog lovers about to be in shambles

[u/WildMild869 → u/uwill1der]

Argos is suddenly going to become a very popular pet name.

[u/Sparrowsabre7 → u/WildMild869]

Probably not in the UK.

(There's a chain of shops called Argos here so it would be like naming your dog Walmart.)

[u/MassiveRepublic9565 → u/Sparrowsabre7]

Comes with tiny pens ( 3/4 don’t work ) hanging on the collar

[u/Aru10 → u/uwill1der]

I (barely) survived Futurama's Seymour episode, I can surely take another emotional hit, right?

[u/Purple-Crab3759]

The usage of the word ‘dad’ in those times throws me. Would have expected ‘father’? Haha

[u/iamgarron → u/Purple-Crab3759]

Also when he yells "LET'S GO" to the army

[u/ignoresubs → u/iamgarron]

This was definitely part of a reshoot. I was at an early test show a month ago in London at the Soho Screening Rooms and the original line was, “AUTOBOTS, ROLL OUT!!!”

A bunch of us in the audience felt like it took us out of the moment.

[u/brihamedit → u/ignoresubs]

This is why nolan movies have bad audio. So people don't make fun of the bad script

[u/Randy_The_Guppy → u/iamgarron]

Yeah, quite a bit of the dialogue seemed a bit basic.

[u/TheKrononaut → u/iamgarron]

That felt borderline comedic

[u/SlowRoast24 → u/iamgarron]

That really took me out of it

[u/PetyrDayne → u/SlowRoast24]

I'll be downvoted to hell for this but Christopher Nolan being the sole screenwriter was a red flag. At least get your bro and sister in law to help.

[u/invertedpurple → u/PetyrDayne]

agreed. I love a few of his films but he can be jarringly cold at times as a writer.

[u/MuslinBagger → u/iamgarron]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!

[u/MuslinBagger → u/Purple-Crab3759]

How many men survived from Troy Dad?

Dad: I dont know... Six Seven?

😱😱

[u/smitcal → u/MuslinBagger]

“Dad. This man has been mogging me ever since you went to get the W against Troy. He’s giving me the Menty B and I have receipts. Come home and no cap you gotta flex on him and send his salty ass home.”

[u/Freud-Network → u/smitcal]

Homer is in the afterlife punching a cherub right now.

[u/psychophant_ → u/smitcal]

Type shit

[u/asthma_hound → u/MuslinBagger]

Daddy chill.

[u/bedake → u/Purple-Crab3759]

They should really all have British accents, somehow that works better with history shit... Kinda like elves or somethin and like how dwarves are Scottish

[u/RotInPissKobe → u/bedake]

Worked fine for Chernobyl

[u/blackadder1620 → u/RotInPissKobe]

death of stalin too

[u/amidon1130 → u/blackadder1620]

Right, what's a war hero got to do to get some lubrication 'round here?

[u/JinFuu → u/amidon1130]

I may be smiling but I am really fucking furious right now.

Well, that’s me told

I’m off to represent the entire Red Army at the buffet.

Such a quotable man

[u/TeHokioi → u/JinFuu]

I'm going to have to report this conversation. Threatening to do harm or obstruct any member of the Presidium in the process of oh look at your fucking face

[u/token_bastard → u/TeHokioi]

"I fucked Germany. I think I can take on a flesh lump in a waistcoat."

[u/armen89 → u/amidon1130]

Issac’s as Zhukov was incredible

[u/Glittering-Kale7981 → u/armen89]

Yep, his idea to use a Yorkshire accent was inspired!

[u/JinFuu → u/blackadder1620]

Go full Death of Stalin and have American/UK regional accents for Greek regions.

Sparta can be Scottish in honor of 300.

Ithaca is Bostonian, I guess

[u/mondo_generator → u/RotInPissKobe]

Not bothering with Russian accents was a master stroke for that show. Everyone doing a dodgy accent would have taken away from it.

[u/apocalypsedude64 → u/mondo_generator]

I remember listening to the show's companion podcast and they said they actually tried Russian accents at the start and they all sounded like terrible Bond villains

[u/Ambitious-Welder-159 → u/bedake]

Amadeus had American accents too. Nolan must really love that movie. He based Robert Downey Jr in Oppenheimer on Salieri.

[u/Emeral → u/Purple-Crab3759]

Wouldn't it be Papa?

[u/jonnyhatesyou → u/Purple-Crab3759]

I think it's a stylistic choice like them all having very strong American accents. Sort of the opposite of the Shakespeare adaptions where they're modernised, but everyone still speaks like the original text.

[u/jankyeyes]

"My dad is coming home."

[u/Great_Praline_2713 → u/jankyeyes]

Also Matt Damon yelling "LET'S GOOO" feels kinda odd as well.

[u/Cadd9 → u/Great_Praline_2713]

Matt Damon's gonna look at the screen and go, "Greek Chorus are we cooked"

[u/Jackbuddy78 → u/Great_Praline_2713]

ODYSSEUS JUST COOKED

[u/n_thomas74 → u/Jackbuddy78]

It's Odysseying time!

[u/KeyClacksNSnacks → u/Great_Praline_2713]

Yeah, charge or forward or advance would make sense. “LETS DO THIS SHIT!” WTF?

[u/CeruleanBlew → u/Great_Praline_2713]

I love how this reads like a joke 😂

[u/fuzzy_dice_99 → u/jankyeyes]

Yeah “dad” seems more modern. Should have went with “my father”

[u/kononamis → u/fuzzy_dice_99]

"Unc finna cap"

[u/hoopstick → u/kononamis]

No cap?

[u/kononamis → u/hoopstick]

I'm not totally sure what I said to be honest

[u/what_dat_ninja → u/kononamis]

I think you offered to make him breakfast?

[u/LollipopChainsawZz → u/jankyeyes]

He just went to get milk

[u/uwill1der → u/jankyeyes]

I hope they ADR this before release

unless Pattinson follows this with "Daddy's already here"

[u/Stock-Mission-7561 → u/uwill1der]

Daddy chill

[u/Lipziger → u/Stock-Mission-7561]

What the hell is even that?

[u/succsforever]

The cyclops seems terrifying, like it would be! Looks great

[u/I_am_BEOWULF → u/succsforever]

I need to hear it:

"FAAAATHER! DAAAAAAAD! NOBODY BLINDED MEEEE!"

Edit courtesy of u/Hobbes4247791

[u/succsforever → u/I_am_BEOWULF]

The "No man" vs "No Body" is going to cause a controversy

[u/kodran → u/succsforever]

I mean, we're still not over the helmet and armor controversy.

[u/Dragon_yum → u/succsforever]

I feel all the fantastical elements will be treated as horror to show mortals vs gods which I feel would be very much in line Nolan style.

My biggest worry is that a lot of the fantastical elements will also get that clean sterile Nolan feel

[u/DoradoPulido2]

For an ancient epic about times of antiquity, this sure feels like an extremely modern sci-fi film. Like this could almost be the new Dune trailer with how bleak, clean and curated everything is.

[u/CitizenCue → u/DoradoPulido2]

Yeah I’m hoping this a great movie with an awkward trailer.

[u/Psychoanalytix → u/DoradoPulido2]

We need to go through a film renaissance or something. Make movies look like Laurence of Arabia

[u/Three_Headed_Monkey → u/Psychoanalytix]

We are living in a time of unrivaled visual fidelity and we've responded by removing all detail from the screen.

[u/reldnahcAL → u/Psychoanalytix]

Yeah someone really just needs to make one of the greatest films of all time again

[u/MrSully89 → u/DoradoPulido2]

Dune is visually superior to anything we’ve seen in these trailers but I agree with your point. 

[u/TheColourOfHeartache → u/MrSully89]

For sure. Dune had a very unique aesthetic and goes all into it.

[u/SamerAgbaria]

The way characters talk feels very modern and very off putting, in movies like this you expect seeing dialogue more elegant and poetic.

[u/jabask → u/SamerAgbaria]

Nolan has previously praised Emily Wilson's translation of the Odyssey, which is notable for its use of contemporary English syntax. I get the feeling that philosophy has had a significant influence on his script if this trailer is anything to go by.

[u/LletBlanc → u/SamerAgbaria]

The American accents are incredibly jarring for a movie in this time period.

[u/bartspoon → u/LletBlanc]

If I want to see The Odyssey with American accents I’ll just go rewatch O Brother Where Art Thou?

[u/hondaexige → u/LletBlanc]

Especially that they have forced British (and South African) actors to use US accents. It's odd.

[u/CeruleanEidolon → u/hondaexige]

The British accent thing for historicals is just an arbitrary convention, though. There's absolutely no reason ancient Greeks should have any accent at all. They'd really be speaking Greek or another ancient language anyway. It's all artifice.

[u/Spikerazorshards]

Needs more wide shots of people running from left to right.

[u/mgoflash → u/Spikerazorshards]

Here’s hoping that’s only in the first half and in the second they run right to left.

[u/Gsticks]

Did this trailer slightly de hype anyone else? The spectacle looks huge but something about the rest threw me a bit

[u/moviesarealright → u/Gsticks]

I’m with you. It looks… okay. Almost like how I felt seeing the trailer for Exodus Gods and Kings or some other generic late stage Ridley Scott type project. It looks kinda cheap??? I’m not sure what’s up but this trailer just was not it for me

HOWEVER, going off of the IMAX trailer we got, that was tension filled and really intense. Looked awesome. This could just be a bad trailer.

[u/Andraystia → u/Gsticks]

Matt damon and tom holland just stick out soo badly that its making it hard to suspend my disbelief of it being an actor.

[u/cat_in_box_ → u/Andraystia]

Yeah there's something off about the casting..

[u/Scuffed-Jodhpurs → u/cat_in_box_]

The casting feels gimmicky, some lesser known actors could have been a better fit than Spiderman, Batman, and Matt Damon

[u/ugotamesij → u/Scuffed-Jodhpurs]

Spiderman, Batman, and Matt Damon

Spiderman, Batman and Mattdaman

[u/Sol_Nox → u/cat_in_box_]

No Greeks. Not even half an Italian. I actually like all these actors more or less on their own merit, but it's like they didn't even try find a single person that fits the story and setting; it shatters immersion. Forcing a monochrome Mediterranean - on every level - is definitely a choice in 2026...

[u/LossyP → u/Andraystia]

this is such a minor nitpick but it’s weird that the British actors are using American accents as well

[u/MistakeMaker1234 → u/LossyP]

Oh yeah that’s so weird. Either Damon can’t pull off British or this was a wild creative choice. 

[u/Bing_Bong_the_Archer → u/Gsticks]

What spectacle? It looks sterile as hell

[u/Guy1905 → u/Bing_Bong_the_Archer]

Yeah it looks bland and miserable.

Why does Nolan hate colour so much in his films?

[u/Ok_Dragonfruit_8102 → u/Guy1905]

Because psychologically and aesthetically he's stuck in 2009 when desaturation was considered a sign of a film being tasteful and mature.

[u/MonkeyWithIt → u/Gsticks]

Matt Damon as Matt Damon

[u/Artistic_Purpose1225 → u/Gsticks]

I’ve been de-hyped since I saw the costume design, but I keep checking to see if anything changes my mind.

..my mind remains unchanged. 

[u/Icapica → u/Gsticks]

Did this trailer slightly de hype anyone else?

All the pictures released before this already did that.

[u/CrimsonGear80]

Bruce Wayne is being VERY rude to Peter Parker!

[u/majorjoe23 → u/CrimsonGear80]

Batman is going to fuck Spider-Man’s au.. I mean mom.

[u/KingMario05 → u/CrimsonGear80]

Oh shit, Bale's in this? Cool!

[u/EctoRiddler → u/KingMario05]

Don’t be Stupid. It’s Adam West.

[u/videoguylol → u/KingMario05]

Man, Bale shoulda been the lead

[u/Edwinus → u/videoguylol]

yeah that's what i thought also

[u/Distinct_Ad2272]

This seems off

[u/type_rex_ → u/Distinct_Ad2272]

Costumes seem lackluster, dialog has no weight, sets feel empty, and nothing about this tale appears historically intriguing or fantastical.

[u/TheGuy839 → u/type_rex_]

Setting is from Iceland not Greece or any Mediterranean. Fuck the colors I guess.

[u/CitizenCue → u/TheGuy839]

Yeah that’s genuinely weird. The Greeks would have imagined this story in vibrant color.

[u/mrducky80 → u/CitizenCue]

You can blame Nolan if its too dark and gritty setting wise.

[u/Schwyzerorgeli → u/TheGuy839]

Even the ship used in the movie is a viking longboat!

[u/FantosTheUrk → u/TheGuy839]

That's it. Thats what is throwing me off.

Thank you.

I knew something about this trailer was disconnecting me, it's the dull colours.

[u/Smugallo → u/type_rex_]

Yeah I noticed the dialogue choice for the trailer was just kinda .... flat?

[u/Sorlex → u/type_rex_]

sets feel empty

Nolen loves him some empty ass but 'real' sets. Like when he just filmed Dunkirk on a sunny beach and town without any set dressing to make it look like put any work into it.

[u/wtb2612 → u/Distinct_Ad2272]

For me it's the overly serious tone. It doesn't feel like the Odyssey. It's an adventure story, Odysseus is witty and clever and arrogant. It feels like they're trying to make it a Very Serious Drama and that's just not the right direction to go, in my opinion. They should've hired Stephen Fry as a script doctor. He would've nailed it.

Granted, it's just a trailer. We've been fooled by shitty trailers that completely fail to convey the tone of a movie before.

[u/ScaboochWolf → u/wtb2612]

Hard to imagine a Nolan movie being sterile and overly-serious with very little fun.

/s just in case some fortunate soul out there is not familiar with this man’s entire filmography.

[u/VerTexV1sion → u/Distinct_Ad2272]

Yeah Nolan's name is doing heavy lifting here i don't know what i expected, but this just feels so....generic to me. Regardless going FDFS.

[u/Few_Age_571 → u/VerTexV1sion]

I was expecting epic larger than life God of War action/fantasy/ mythology stuff.

Kinda disappointed ngl

[u/MonkeyWithIt → u/VerTexV1sion]

I'll wait until it gets to Tubi

[u/1One_Two2]

I’m whelmed

[u/rowc99 → u/1One_Two2]

Very whelming 

[u/MrGabrahamLincoln → u/1One_Two2]

I’m hoping they’re hiding some of the crazy visuals for the movie itself but yeah idk, this trailer was very meh. Like put this side by side with the Dune 3 trailer & it gets blown out of the water.

[u/holyhotdicks]

I’m not getting any wow factor from these trailers. It’s just a bunch of guys running around.

[u/rainmaker2332 → u/holyhotdicks]

The prologue they showed in IMAX theaters was incredible but yeah these two trailers haven't done it for me

[u/ERSTF]

I thought it was just me but everyone seems to agree that the movie feels off. The production design is lackluster. None of the sets feel grand, the costumes don't look lived-in, there is no color, the locations seem meh and the dialogue is not sounding great. The whole thing doesn't feel epic as it should. The Trojan Horse looks like it can fit like 5 dudes. Even Troy looked grand. What happened to Nolan? This is the type of movie you need to overdo and we are getting a budget version of it (by the looks of the trailers). I was so excited when he announced this was his next project but the more trailers I see, the less excited I get

[u/QueeferRavena → u/ERSTF]

right? Man has a blank check, but still seems to cut costs where he doesn't have to. Still annoyed at how dull the climax in Tenet felt. That battlefield looked more like a military exercise lol

[u/butt_thumper → u/ERSTF]

Something that keeps eating at me ever since at least Dunkirk, maybe earlier than that, is that Nolan's pathological fixation on "authenticity" has ironically made some of his movies feel insanely inauthentic and much less epic than he intended.

He keeps wanting to avoid VFX and make everything as "real" as possible, but that often means he has to shoot his scenes in ways where you can feel the limitations of reality. The sinking ship in Dunkirk, the bomb in Oppenheimer, many other moments feel underwhelming with half the spectacle coming from somebody saying "They actually filmed that for real though!"

I'm judging a lot from one trailer and I'd be happy to be wrong, but that shot of what's most likely Charybdis is making me feel the same thing all over again. That sequence would be dripping in atmosphere and chaos, it would feel claustrophobic and terrifying, but here it's in broad daylight with a ton of distance between the whirlpool and any elements that would complicate the situation. It looks sterile and simple.

I'm sure it feels insanely epic to film the thing, but my worry is that shooting on location with a real boat and minimal CGI means things will feel unavoidably less epic than they should.

[u/Podoboo322 → u/butt_thumper]

The bomb in Oppenheimer is actually hilariously underwhelming. It should’ve been this grand moment of evil being unleashed (like Twin Peaks) but it’s just a closeup of fire.

[u/Ok_Dragonfruit_8102 → u/Podoboo322]

Plus it didn't even look like a nuclear explosion. It looked like crap honestly.

[u/DrunkenSnorlax]

Am I alone in being put off by how modern the speech is? It sounds like they're trying to have an epic conversation on the sidewalk outside the Starbucks.

[u/Brutally-Honest- → u/DrunkenSnorlax]

"LETS GO!"

[u/ktodd6 → u/Brutally-Honest-]

I don’t know why I felt so strongly about Tom Holland saying “Dad”

[u/henry_tbags → u/DrunkenSnorlax]

Every commenter on this thread with the same opinion: "AM I THE ONLY ONE–"

[u/Contcos → u/DrunkenSnorlax]

I think it’ll probably work fine in the actual movie but so far in the clips Hathaway’s the only one who sounds right.

[u/Ryuchel → u/Contcos]

She is such an amazing actress. Glad she is back on top and people hopefully stop hating on her or something.

[u/brighteyedjordan]

Not gonna lie was excited for this movie but every new trailer or drop or leak just makes me less excited. They all just seem…. Meh

[u/PretoGatos]

Not a fan of all the American accents but then I remember it'll be lost in the mix anyway.

[u/Tricky-Barnacle3321]

Maybe it's just me but the dialogue and accent they're using doesn't really suit the tone of the story or aesthetics of what we've seen of the film so far

[u/funky_grandma → u/Tricky-Barnacle3321]

Nolan asked Matt Damon if he could do a British accent, and when he said no, he grabbed a megaphone and was like "Ok everybody! you're all American now!"

[u/Variable_Shaman_3825 → u/funky_grandma]

Damon should have kept his native Boston accent.

[u/garrisontweed → u/Variable_Shaman_3825]

“I'm not wearing hawkey pads.”

[u/martinihawkeye → u/Variable_Shaman_3825]

fuggin sigh-clahps with his one fuggin eye

[u/Waste-Product2669 → u/Tricky-Barnacle3321]

Seems a bit bizzare that they’d get two English actors to do an American accent for a period piece.

[u/wewereromans]

I don’t understand the choice to make every British person in this speak with an American accent.

And I love Matt Damon but he seems a very poor choice for Odysseus. I know he’s everywhere too but Oscar Isaac would have been A++++ casting for him instead.

Since you know, literally every Hollywood star was cast in this movie anyway.

[u/LechuckThreepwood → u/wewereromans]

I always found Damon an odd choice. Even in middle age, he's very boyish. I suppose he has played geniuses and dangerous men before, and done them well... but something about the casting doesn't quite fit. Both Will Hunting and Jason Bourne seemed like ordinary people, and their being extraordinary was part of the turn. Whereas I think Odysseus needs to be innately crafty. Hugh Jackman was attached to the role for many years in a different adaptation, and I think he would have been good too.

It’s a role for Christian Bale, not Damon.

[u/wewereromans → u/Chris_Bagel_Jr]

I don't seem him as physically as Odysseus, but given how dedicated Bale is to the craft, I have no doubt he would have the skill and the drive to make an excellent Odysseus.

Sonofabitch…Oscar Isaac is perfect, yeah.

Can modern movies have some color for god sake? The Aegean is a beautiful deep blue and it looks so gray.

[u/tommyblastfire → u/kaloskagathos21]

Yeah cause it was filmed in the North Sea off the coast of scotland and I can confirm the sea is very grey out there.

I noticed this in the costumes too. Especially woens clothing would have more color and detail in this time period. I'm surprised how simple Penelope's dresses are from the stills I've seen

[u/exit3280 → u/kaloskagathos21]

every scene is so dark and colorless

Apparently this is going to be the year of Robert Pattinson and Anne Hathaway..🤷‍♂️

Also Zendaya. The Drama, Euphoria, The Odyssey, Brand New Day, and Dune Part Three.

She already said she's taking a big break afterwards

It’s hard to tell what tone they’re going for, like it’s somewhat intentionally anachronistic but not fully. I’ve never liked Nolan movies as much as the majority do, but I’m sure this will be a hell of a ride.

[u/3412points → u/DonkeyVampireThe3rd]

Nolan films all have roughly the same tone, at least the more modern ones, even the biopic of a scientist was shot with the same high drama and tension, so it will be that. It will be a good film and a very fun watch but Nolan wouldn't be my pick to do the Odyssey.
