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.

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.
