A bad adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey with poor character development and casting choices. Odysseus was a cunning, heroic warrior, wise and sometimes ruthless. Not the “beefcake” portrayal of Brad Pitt who seems to be content with standing in the background. Telemachus was also not convincing. Holland was too wimpish. Finally, the loud crescendos during fighting scenes were irritating and unnecessary. The 1990’s Odyssey was miles ahead of this “creative” misinterpretation.

I loved this movie except for the cyclops it was a really well done movie couldn't expect less when the director is Christopher Nolan

User review rating: 2 August 26, 2026

I thought the movie was absolutely boring I was just praying for it to end. Storyline is so drawn out so boring. Not much real action and so on it was just this really really long boring storyline. I was glad it was over

New standard Sean Avery for an Oscar

User review rating: 1 August 20, 2026

Some good actors, but too long, and too weird even by mythology standards. Very difficult to follow if you don't already know the story.

User review rating: 2 August 19, 2026

Just an okay movie. It certainly didn't measure up to the hype.

User review rating: 5 August 17, 2026

Epic story and well done!

User review rating: 4 August 17, 2026

It was epic in every sense. Of course, there's some relatively minor twists like seeing Eliot Page again (BTW had a small, but crucial role and rocked it!), or Zendaya's role revealed at the end. Everyone did a fantastic job. I think every actor drops everything to be in a Christopher Nolan pic. It's smart and so well filmed and acted. There will likely be a LOT of awards. Ok, the eating scene (if you know, you know), was sick. Like horror movie sick and really well done. I'd absolutely see it again, but next time with ear plugs, because some sounds or music/drum beating was just over the top loud.

We really liked that movie the entire scenery was amazing although sometimes I had the feeling the acting itself didn't do the actors/actresses ability right. They are better than they were 'allowed' to do. The 1 star less has actually nothing to do with the movie - maybe it was the theater: it was WAY to loud. Quality of a movie has very little to do with the volume of it.

Very well done movie. Ignore the whiners. Enjoy the film.

Mr Nolan delivered another epic film...Great stories. Great cast...rare I stay awake for a movie this long

User review rating: 3 August 11, 2026

3.5 stars. Partly due to past excellent Nolan movies (Oppenheimer/Tenet/Inception / Batman redos) The pros: 1. The cinematography is outstanding. 2. The characters and story are classic (it’s Homers writings after all) 3. Action is very solid and battles depicted vividly. The Cons: 1. The actors use modern accents for classic Greek history. Worst transgressors was John Legz as Eumaeus w a Brooklyn accent? lol. 2. I know Nolan wanted a “woke” cast of colour so other characters were not Greek by casting design. 3. The movie is too long. I know it’s hard to edit but it’s not necessary to have a scene Matt D and his wife before he leaves. I liked it overall but it’s not in the top tier for Nolan movies already done.

Long, incredibly loud and boring, unless you like a lot of violence. I actually had to cover my ears due to the constant blaring og sound, and I'm hard of hearing.

User review rating: 5 August 10, 2026

Fantastic movie with a great cast. Chef's kiss

User review rating: 1 August 10, 2026

Terrible casting, to begin with. Especially Odysseus, he was a Greek, not long Santa Claus gray beard and blondish blue eye man! Whoever did this movie never read the Odyssey. Most of it was Hollywood trash. Too much sword fighting, boring. The horse was misrepresented, and it was never found on the beach, it was given to Troy as a gift. Agamemnon, king of Micenae would never had that ridiculous vertebra on the back, he was a great Greek king, not a wannabe escapee from Mad Max. Total disappointment!

User review rating: 3 August 09, 2026

Acting was good. Yes movie very weird with witch & monsters. Too much battle. Good story of a king & his family.

User review rating: 4 August 08, 2026

What a strange, weird movie. I liked it anyway.

User review rating: 5 August 07, 2026

Casting was remarkable. Very richly shot and quiet for all the reasons. I go to the movies once a week and that was the most exciting. Turn up the sound

User review rating: 5 August 07, 2026

Elliott page deserves an Oscar

User review rating: 1 August 06, 2026

Casting was ridiculous! Very poorly shot and loud for no reason. I go to the movies once a week and this was the most disappointing so far this year I think they thought turning the sound up would make up for the lack of real movie. Also way way too long.

User review rating: 1 August 06, 2026

Elliot page looked ridiculous. In this movie, the swords are taller than he was. It made the movie look like a joke and not believable.

User review rating: 3 August 06, 2026

Come on people, this was not an "amazing" film. It was an okay film. It reminded me of one of those fantasy films from the 1980's, with its story plot along with its special effects.

User review rating: 1 August 06, 2026

Sword fight after sword fight after sword, fight, one or two would've been fine, but it gets monotonous. And the film is poorly lit in most places, and very very predictable. It gets boring and then it is way too long.

User review rating: 3 August 06, 2026

This movie is not the epic film that it’s hyped up to be. Save your money and wait to stream it when you got nothing better to do

Movie of the decade

User review rating: 4 August 02, 2026

Great cinematography, extremely well acted . Love Lupita in the dual roles. Every actor was excellent, the action is limited but what is there is exciting. It will probably be considered his opus film .

This is really not only disgusting but the most boring movie I've ever watched in my life only lasted two hours and walked out. Just a warning make sure you bring ear plugs are you will have hearing damage

User review rating: 3 July 31, 2026

It is completely STACKED with actors! I just find ALL the comments Hilarious! “It’s soo long, It’s boring. It’s loud.” It’s loud because it’s WAR & NoOne in movie-making history knows how to do IT quietly! AND it’s Long & Boring because… ITS The ODYSSEY!!! (obviously some of y’all missed Lit class)

So happy this is a box office hit. And it's not even released in China until the 31st. It's going to make over a $1 billion. Well deserved. Don't miss it.

Really good

User review rating: 1 July 29, 2026

Nolan and company forgot how to direct, compose, edit and act. Manages to be tedious, boring, overly long, and frantic, rushed and clipped all at once. I like Nolan, read books about things like the Peloponnesian Wars and love long movies: This should have been great. It was horrid.
