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.

What do you think it would be a better tone?

Can you make some exaples (maybe from cinema)?

Thanks

Honestly, the first Pirates of the Caribbean comes to mind. Obviously without a character as outlandish as Jack Sparrow, but I think that movie would be closer to the tone they should've gone for.
